  1. I don't get the problem with config files as a general concept. You can't build really complicated stuff without them (unless you're the only one writing and using it) and if someone fucks up the config file you can just error out until the user fixes it. I mean, all the stuff you add to your particular suckless program is hard to share, hard to keep track of when you bring in changes from other people, and depending on what you do, similar to keeping a dependency tree on your mind (say, a change you made depends on something else you use on your machine).
