Here's the same thing in .ini style:

I'd argue that as the number of subnets and special case workstations
goes up, the ability of a system administrator to read and understand
the flat file is going to be markedly harder than for the admin to read
the custom-crafted dhcp-config syntax.

And I would agree for the .ini format. But things change considerably when instead we deal with all configuration elements as keys and their values in a filesystem like structure. I can now do:
"cfg_prog -export .ini/dhcpd/xml/etc.. /system/dhcpd/subnet 10.202.*"

where my default editor may be emacs, vim, gedit or a super config editor.
