In praise of text files and protocols

I ran into this blog post explaining why using text files and protocols is great for users.
The deeper story is that human-readable text formats are wonderful: they are easily debugged, they are easily manipulated (with text editors and other tools like awk and sed), and they can be compressed using common compression programs if space is a problem.
This deep truth is one key reason we chose an open text format based on a free software programming language for Tao Presentations.
