Thanks for your reply.

For that argument to be more credible, and for XML to be a more
appropriate format, then Lazarus IDE should have used a single .xml
file for all settings.

Please note the complex hierarchy that already exists. Multiple configuration directories, configs stored in common directories or together with a project, etc. The docking IDE will add further config data, to be discussed where and how.

All that may deserve some brush-up, once the use of multiple IDE instances and multiple layouts has settled down a bit more.
