As I understand your disagreement, you are talking about different
configs.

You (sc@...) are talking about configs as understood on this side of The
GUI Wall -- more-or-less convoluted (sets of) text files for servers,
bots, clients (placing editors in this category too) etc.  Those configs
are edited once (mostly, prominent exception would be killfile (whatever
actual name)) and then forgotten until upstream brakes something.  Such
breaks are followed by run through configs, pushing the thing into
working shape, and forgotten again.  Cycle Of Life, if I may.

You (tnp@...) are talking about what on that other side of The GUI Wall
can be achieved with applying menus and dialogs (with assorted buttons,
lists, and whatnot) only.  Thus, incoming newsflash, nobody here applies
ls(1) by editing configs.  Or cat(1).  Or grep(1).  This list goes on
and on then reaches awk, perl, and python or whatever.  Some of these
things don't even have config (those things keep their configurations in
the environment).
