I think there is certainly value in making the test file more human readable. A lot of real world use cases I've seen treats the jmx file as code. It is checked into git/svn very often - where it gets displayed as text/XML but isn't easy to read/parse.
There are a few different attempts including Ruby-jmeter and blazemeter's Taurus that are basically DSL wrappers trying to address this need. I get that the IDE is still the primary way to create/edit a test, but bring able to quickly change something in a text editor is valuable.
