Gee, I kinda think an XML file a bit easier to slog through than the
registry, and that would stand up to objective scrutiny, I'm sure.

how so?  they're both hiearchy based, you drill down through them,
change values as appropriate...

Umm, this is a joke, right?

no, it's not- have you ever even used regedit? if so, please tell me
why you think it's easier to edit values in an xml file compared to
editing the registry w/ regedit...

The ease "doing" the edit is easy in RegEdit; in fact, it's arguably easier
and many tasks can be done in just a very few steps. It's "where and what" to
edit that's tougher. One does not know (without external knowledge) whether
to head down the path of HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ... it's a maze. Plists can have odd names, but a search
for a term in the name finds them, and once inside, they are readable: You
don't those strings of 32 hex characters all over the place.
