I'm the same way. I find even Coldfusion having a poor signal to noise
ratio because it is xml (basically). Ron Jeffries and I had a little
exchange a little while ago about it, and I plan to post on it as well.
But, the benefits of using it certainly outweigh that. In any case,
based on your post(s) about the matter, I think I have a good response -
but I feel I should soak in the reference documents before I commit to
my own prejudice.
Certainly will get back on this though.

Hi Sam,
Looking forward to your thoughts when you have the time to respond. Truth is
I don't like XML, so I'm looking for any excuse not to use it, but I also
want to be intellectually honest and highlight all of the benefits that XML
provides so hopefully I'll make the best decision for my use case rather
than just following my prejudices!
Best Wishes,
Peter

Peter,
You make some good points. I plan to read those articles within the
next couple of weeks and write up a response if I'm still not completely
convinced. Its just that right now, because the semester is coming to a
close, I can't give it the time/attention a good response deserves. I
hope you'll excuse the delay =).

Hi Sam,
There are a few reasons. And what was going to be an email turned into a
posting!
Here are my latest thoughts on XML for configuration.

Jim,
Don't take this the wrong way, as it is a genuine question, but when I
read it, it sound sort of heckling. It is not meant to be, so forgive
me if it sounds that way to you.
When and why would I want to use this? In particular, why is it better
than say <cfinclude template="config.cfm"> where config.cfm sets all my
variables?
Thanks,
Sam

What is config.cfc? Config.cfc allows application and session
variables in a ColdFusion application to be set from an XML file.
Config.cfc is available for download at
http://code.google.com/p/configcfc/
For subversion users the link is:
http://configcfc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
A big THANK YOU to Nic Tunney for his help, code review, and creating
the Application.cfc example. You rock dude.
