IMHO INI style configuration files are nicer.  Less code needed for parsing,
it's easier & faster to read, file size is smaller and like XML, it's kind
of a standard.   I think XML strengths are elsewhere (complicated /
arbitrarary data structures), but JSON[1] is partially replacing XML in
those areas as it's more lightweight...

For example KDE desktop on Linux uses INI style configuration files.
