I understand that concern as well.  As long as you know what you are 
doing the command line can work fine.  We use it all the time for 
automated builds.  I am just saying that parsing the whole project to 
pull out the options is not going to work.  Having a parallel set of 
files that can be read quickly and contain the options for a project is 
most likely the best bet.  However, this has been discussed many times 
over the years, and I still don't think a good solution has been found. 
   Of course, changing the language would not help/hurt/affect this 
issue at all...
