Well, there the reason that the webapp config is in a DB rather than text files is that this is easier and safer to read/write esp. when there may be multiple users changing settings at any given time. Sure you _could_ try and deal with multiple writers modifying config files while the app is continuously parsing and rereading the config to pick up changes but implementing all the custom parsing and locking is going to be a lot more difficult than writing a few simple select/insert/update/delete transactions.
