Okay, but did your old language have
a) parsers in dozens of programming languages?
b) transformation languages that could map between your name/value
pairs and other people's?
c) a schema language for defining the allowed contents of the
name/value pairs?
d) support for deeply hierarchical and linked values?
If you don't need these features then I think that there would be no
shame in going back to what you were using before. Just be clear on what
you would be giving up.
