    Actually, IIS does have text file configuration also - the metabase.

    That's one thing I like about it - I can edit the text file OR use the GUI.

    The caveat is the text-file is XML, the pro is that it's structure in such a way that it's not as painful to edit by hand as normal XML. Also, there's a log file in the same directory that produces really helpful error messages if you screw up editing it by hand.

    Having used both, I find neither significantly better/easier to administrate. They are just different
