Comma-separated files are notorious for getting line items messed up by missing a comma or not enclosing text that's supposed to have a comma in the right kind of quotes or whatever. And for all this talk of "ease of use", XML is *far* easier to look at and tell what the heck it's doing from an end user standpoint; you may not notice this because you're opening the file in Excel but this remains the case.
The true mark of the devs taking over is if they changed all these files to use JSON instead. 
One thing I would love is something to edit the english.xml file. I have half a mind of working on one myself... |
(For me) It took 30 seconds to change all the last names to upper case in the txt file. Just opening the xml takes longer.
