It all means something and rarely do I ever have to make any changes to web.config. Why are you fooling around with it?

web.config is child's play compared to WCF binding configuration options.

Then, you'll feel like your web.config is small. It's all relative.
Here's a snippet to help you feel better:
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="system.applicationHost">
<section name="applicationPools" allowDefinition="AppHostOnly" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />
<section name="configHistory" allowDefinition="AppHostOnly" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />
<section name="customMetadata" allowDefinition="AppHostOnly" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />
<section name="listenerAdapters" allowDefinition="AppHostOnly" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />
<section name="log" allowDefinition="AppHostOnly" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />
<section name="serviceAutoStartProviders" allowDefinition="AppHostOnly" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />
<section name="sites" allowDefinition="AppHostOnly" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />
<section name="webLimits" allowDefinition="AppHostOnly" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />
</sectionGroup>
<sectionGroup name="system.webServer">
<section name="asp" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />
<section name="caching" overrideModeDefault="Allow" />
<section name="cgi" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />
<section name="defaultDocument" overrideModeDefault="Allow" />

Yes, if you're going to bring up a problem to the forum, then you need to provide your solution too.

Bring back JCL!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I am too young to even know what you're talking about...

For those who are not (yet...) old farts, JCL was the Job Control Language used to set job parameters on IBM mainframes. It had a few variants, and so many options that most people got an expert to prepare the cards for them, and then re-used them for every job.

Sounds good, let the experts handle our web config files so I never have to edit them again!

In the early 1980's I was a "Customer Engineer" and I wrote a CLIST (later REXX) program on TSO that gathered option choices and produced and submitted the JCL.
Damn near drove me insane. I didn't end up in the funny farm but I can see from my window.

When I interned at IBM back in 1985, there was a room full of "Computer Operator"s staffed 24x7, whose primary job was to monitor looking for jobs that didn't run because of an error in the JCL used to submit it and then try to fix the JCL and resubmit. They kept very busy. The wife of one of my mentors there was the manager of that team.

I don't see any reason why a c# developer would hate web.config or app.config as they provide the flexibility to change the configuration level things without rebuilding and redeploying the application. They are quite useful in my opinion.

I see the italics. But are you saying, "forget config files, let's use hard-coded" values?" 
|
|

Yes, for simple use cases where the config never or seldomly changes. However, if you need to configure it on-the-fly or at install time, then config files are the way to go.

Nope! Most definitely not the only one.
Though, I did just get done writing an interpreter that executes fairly simple scripts written in XML.
