Well, there are multiple ways of looking at it. You could say that IIS doesn't force you to memorize or search a reference for all of its specific configuration properties. They're all right on the screen to see for those who don't spend their days pouring over web server configuration. Point, click, done. IIS6 had a scriptable metabase which could be managed from the command line, though that is generally not as intuitive as editing the configuration file. If you're the type that likes to edit the configuration files directly, IIS7 now uses text-based configuration files which can be edited directly without ever using the GUI management tool if one so chooses.
