Some comments on choices=headaches from More Joel on Software

The example doesn't make too much sense to me until I see:
Each additional choice makes complete sense until you find yourself explaining to your uncle that he has to choose between fifteen different ways to turn off a laptop.

It really hurts my ball when I tried to explain something similar to my father...

Days ago, I need to design a config file per request, and my original opinion is "KISS". To re-use existing config file(a stupid txt) may seem too naive, stupid and not popular at all. However, I did prefer to a little bit better choice-ini file a lot to popular "xml" type. It's only simple request internally, thus, less choices/less effort makes sense to me.
