However, for most cases I think XML is just a pain to type in, especially when talking about config stuff where the structure isn't necessarily very different between files and thus needs less descriptive markup. I think XML is a better alternative if you for example have more complex and dynamic structures than arrays and lists and if you have easy access to a parser (I'm used to a pretty frugal environment so I'm most likely biased.)
