No its not about "One True Config Format", but rather about one 
goddamnawful format.  I actually had a client complain about the YAML 
configuration file; they had to change the database username and 
password in the file and screwed up the format, hadn't made a backup and 
part of their production website was down for several hours until they 
contacted me.  I changed the application to read a windows .ini file and 
they were happy (well they weren't too happy about the time the 
application was down). 

I don't mind about XML files -- I'm sure the client could have worked 
out the pattern -- or other straightforwardly comprehensible formats, 
but the clients were totally flumoxed by YAML, and they needed to have 
the ability to change some configuration parameters.

To my mind if the users have problems with some aspect of a system then 
its a design flaw.
