The title is rather abstract. I was wondering what people actually like when it comes to configuring their favorite software. For example, you could configure through some custom configuration language (like i3wm or ratpoison). Through a GUI/TUI application supplied on top of the application itself. Or through a standard text format like TOML/YAML etc. And then there is the special cases like suckless terminal where you edit the source code directly. Lastly the cases where you have to write some scripting language like Python/Lua or a made up one like in Vim.
So what is your favorite way of configuring an application?
It probably highly depends on documentation. But I want to find out what other factors are there.
