This is the classic configuration problem: a program is too complex for users, we'll use configuration files. Then configuration becomes more and more complex so either your configuration file language becomes an ugly programming language (XML and XSLT for example) or the complexity is pushed into the parser of the configuration files and you have lots of 'magic' combination of parameters..

And no I don't have the answer, maybe using Lisp like Guix do?
