I am unclear how it helps to take a solid working tool written in an
open language and rewrite it in a language controlled by one company,
introduce a whole new set of bugs.
Wouldn't you be better directing your energy toward improving the
existing product?

Please no. XML files are a pain to edit by hand and configuration tools
are really unnecessary to edit a simple file like nagios.cfg. If you
mean files like hosts.cfg, then perhaps you should contribute toward
the work to get those back into an SQL database (as I understand that
SQL support has been dropped in version 2).
