How would it be difficult to edit file through ssh? If you can edit the current config file you can edit any text (XML) file.

Nah, I don't like to edit XML files by hand. It is prone to errors. Just keep the config file format simple, it is easy to create a program that can parse the configuration format and let you edit it using a web or desktop interface, and it is even easier to edit/generate them using a perl script.

Users who like GUI tools can use GUI tools, users like me who prefer vim can still edit files using vim or any other text editor.
