I really like this kind of config file. People are saying it's useless because you should just use JSON, but I think that misses the fundamental point of this style of config: you configure "things" not as part of a huge tree structure, but as their own free-standing structures. Users don't go into an array of users as a 3rd level of indentation, users are their own top-level thing.
This allows really cool things, like modular configs where one "main" config file can include multiple specific-purpose configs. One file can contain the "default users" while another can contain additional users, for example. Or each user can get its own file.
