Not that I'm advocating it (I'm don't care one way or the other), but most Linux people dislike the windows registry for reasons this project would fix: - All key-value pairs are stored in clear-text files. (Windows uses binary files(?)) (Next question, how about nested values... - It is designed to be easy to administrate with regular command line tools like cat, vi, cp, ls, ln. Its storage is 100% open. (this is also a common argument against Windows Registry by anti-registry folk) Anybody can abuse a flat text file config system too, just as much as the Windows Registry becomes a horrible mess.
