2. The biggest reason to not use XML is that we already have a
working file format with associated file reading and writing code.
Transitioning to XML is a major, architectural change to PCB.
Everybody talks about changing the program; almost nobody actually
implements the changes.
Does this mean, that if somebody would sit down and do this work, it
could well be accepted for pcb?
So everything boils down to the people coding for PCB do not want to
waste their time for a change, they see no benefit in? If this is the
case, I have no problem to accept is, as it is not really an argument
against XML, but only about these people implementing it. It should not
keep others from doing this job, if they think, it is important.
If I had my druthers for PCB, I'd rather see
developer effort used to upgrade the UI to GTK, rather than wasted on
migrating to an XML file format -- a change which would be invisible
to ordinary users.
I fully agree on this point. Changes of the file format should have a
much lower priority than e.g. this change.
