As opposed to what? Well, to anything that doesn't require repeating the same value multiple times. I don't know what that is but there has to be some such thing. This form of config is cross platform and all if you have a parser for it (ConfigParser in python for instance) but it is being used to configure a C# application. You could do it with the config layout as is if that which parsed it used a standard way of referring to some other config variable value. I can write something to automate this stuff for myself but I wanted to know if there is anything afoot in this direction already.
