[mythtv] Interesting Comparison

[Lasse Nisted]

Command line editing can easily be accomplished with something like the
mysql client.

mysql -uuser -ppassword mythconverg
: describe settings;
: select data from settings;
etc.

But one might find vim/emacs/nano/... easier. But I would argue that if
you're
the type who wants to do command like editing, then mysql client isn't that
hard.

With relations for configuration files mythtv doesn't need to come up with
yet another
configuration file format :)
