I am +0 on this: Con: In windows we often used .reg files e.g. when doing training courses to reset specific settings so that trainees all have the same state (you can just double click on the .reg file to apply it). We also can use the registry to enable things via NSIS installers - for example we make a nightly build of the plugin (http://nightly.inasafe.org) which is packaged as an NSIS installer that makes sure the plugin is activated in the user's profile. Probably we can do the same things by manipulating .ini files but the current system is pretty easy. Pro: Using a unified configuration system on all platforms would be nice...
