Hmmm. How about an app for editing configs specifically?
Like, an entire protocol/standard thing for specifying the exact values accepted, too.
No more text-only configs, right?! And apps made specifically to give you a GUI to configure a specific service can still exist on top of this!
That would be a good idea to start this off... right?
Make the settings app extremely modular? Have it be able to parse most config file standards and even provide guidelines for common system config files?
