I'm puzzling over where I would use this sort of thing, over say Json, or simple xml, and I realise that it's mostly useful in cases where you're expected to edit the configuration in a text editor.
That's not something I come across a lot - all my software (that I use) has a visual interface, and so raw editing of text/config files is not something we do.
So context really comes into play here. I can see how this would be very useful for some programs, and near useless for others. And more specifically useful for those who consume user-edited configuration files.
