I suggest you ...

Show me the parts of my .config files that I can delete

As projects grow and transition from greenfield to brownfield projects .config files are getting more and more obsolete and dead stuff in them.

Do help me and show me what I delete of this.

        The solution wouldn't necessarily have to be designer-centric. Even just a little utility that can read the config file inheritance tree and see what is in the web.config file that has the same "base" settings in machine.config/machine web.config....
