preference. not caring. maintainability.
in order:
1) preference
some people prefer one over the other
2) not caring
you download your source and start running it. some dls have ascii
pfiles, the core has binary. who cares what it is running :)
3) maintainability
(this goes both ways too)
ASCII: you can edit the pfiles by hand, move them machine to machine
without having to think, etc.
Binary: it's generally easier to zip through the pfile looking for a
particular instance of something without having to either generate
an index file or parse through gobs of files (1 per player).
Both sides have similar arguments that all come down to which works for
you better.
