good luck with that.. I didn't had a decent IDE capable of even implementing elastic tab stops... I expect people using hex editors to flip bytes directly on the binary blob saved on disk instead of using the appropriate tools to view the "source" files.

btw: have a look at how much disdain was reserved for systemd and its pletora of binary blobs + custom tools (e.g. the journal stuff) ... and that was basically forced upon from the distributions
