Amazing what a more user-friendly interface will do... Looking at you, httpd.conf.

Linux distros that are needlessly moving config files with every upgrade do more damage than conf. directives
my httpd.conf is always shorter than nginx configs. it's another case of linux distros messing up good software.
shorter didn't mean clear that's the age old LoC fallacy
in the case of configs clarity is just familiarity - I know people who write sendmail.cf directly
