Yes, fowler mentionned XML: "XML has its uses, but isn't exactly easy to read. We could make it easier to see what's going on by using a custom syntax.

Of course the job of the programmer is easier when the file is coded in XML, but I think the user prefer simpler files with a custom syntax, and the user is the king. I am a programmer and personnaly I dont want to code my haskell code in XML, so I presume it is the same for the user with configuration files.
Well except if your programming langage is lisp in which case parsing the configuration file is just a call to read.
