I think you need to add a sentence giving one good reason to use anything other than a plain text file.

Thanks, good idea.

I just did, though I may have gone overboard as it is more of a paragraph than a sentence. We developed SecureStore out of necessity, believe me, KISS all the way.

The fundamental trade-off for any new tool is that devs have finite capacity to learn new tools. That's why we like to learn a few tools really well and then reuse the heck out of them. However, we are open to warning-stories - that if you do it the naive way, at some point you'll get bitten by X, Y and Z. And even then we might not acre until we actually get bitten!
