The registery is much easier to break, much harder to debug and much harder to fix, UNIX config is more human-friendly, I’ll never mess with the registery again
The technology behind the registry is fine (which is what I think @VinesNFluff meant)
But it’s execution in Windows was ass
In theory, a configuration manager with DB-like abilities (to maintain relationships, schematic integrity, and to abstract the file storage details), isn’t a bad idea

In theory having a database of configuration settings isn’t a horrible idea.
But the execution was terrible.

But the registry as it is today is pure pain
