The main argument in favor of having a config.inc.php is probably that there has been a config.inc.php in phpMyAdmin since 1998, so in general people expect it.
I would prefer to make some changes to setup script to make it easier to use. If connection with empty config fails, we point user to setup script, he configures everything and then it attempts to save config. If that fails, we can offer it for download.
One of the reasons to stop having config.inc.php in the kit was to avoid having to keep the BC code up to date.
The "BC" code is now used everytime, having full config.inc.php only does not allow us to change things that most users won't change like function defitions. Maybe it's time to move these things out of config as we do modify them anyway later according to MySQL version.
