Comment (by pulkomandy):
To complete this, the flatenned BMessage format is faster and easier to
parse with our system APIs, more robust to format changes (fields can
easily be added or removed), and has standardized support in many places
(like a generic solution to handle "defaults" and "revert" buttons. All
these far outweight the small advantage of the file being user editable,
especially as the preference panels offer realtime application of the
setting, while editing the config files would likely require a system
reboot (or restart of some system component) to work.
