The tooling bar for config files is set firmly at notepad.exe

If your config file requires more tooling than that you fucked up.




I mean, with Visual Studio I can even the change the code of the application I am running on the fly, depending on what exactly I am configuring :)

That doesn’t make XML an easier format to maintain.


notepad is a terrible editor for anything other than simple property files. For example, editing JSON that has any sort of complexity would be just as painful.
