Heh. At least, we don't have to have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) anymore navigating down the registry tree. It's a completely different story though, if one is going to edit the complete .reg dump, and import the settings from there.

The windows registry is a tad more complex. It's funny a while back Arch main selling point was single point of .. config too. Now it's systemd fine grained graph of .service. But nix being built by language designers, I guess abstraction and reuse will stay baked in.

They recreated it 20 times over in the name of modernity.
