The benefits of a gui are separate from the physical file format. 
It helps you get the semantics right primarily, secondarily it 
helps you navigate the ecosystem (the code.dlang.org website does 
this too). Only tertiary does it makes the file format 
irrelevant, but the main goal of them is to guide you through the 
process of creating a valid configuration that makes sense for 
you.
