3. Implementation of INI parser into existing source code means much more work than adding one more CLI switch
4. Unless there is significant amount of configuration options needed for application then it's better to stay away from INI/registry altogether
5. GUI add-ons can easily adopt any new CLI option and keep it along with many other settings in their own INI files if necessary
