Opinions on that will vary, and as the saying goes, "everybody is
entitled to his own opinions, but not his own facts."

I submit as fact that there are many initialization files in each of
these formats, and I would be willing to place a wager that the
majority of the people on this list have used a text editor to modify
at least one file in this category at least once.

IOW, in my opinion (and it is only an opinion, not a fact), you are
actually helping to make the case that a better format is needed.
