I can sympathize with your format prejudice, but GTFS is aimed at making things as easy as possible for the data provider, since getting the data in the first place is often the hardest part. I should also point out that the validator also checks a lot of deeper semantic things related to transit timetable logic, not just syntactic issues. As far as I'm aware, though, there's been more detailed transit data opened to the public in GTFS than in any other format, and it'd be great to get the relevant parts of that into OSM.
