On Linux, they are all text files. Not only can you understand their
contents, you can use diff between different versions to see what has
changed, and copy/paste accordingly.

 You know how you get summoned because some machine is acting up? And the
user swears blind that “nothing has changed”? But you pull up the previous
snapshot of the config, do a diff against the current version, and ...
“Aha! You *did* change something!”. And you change it back. And all is
well.
 Or you put comments next to a change in the config, explaining why it was
done. So if the situation changes or it doesn’t quite solve the problem,
you know what to change back.
 Not something possible on Dimdows.

"regdiff is a small command line tool to compare two registry files, export the registry, merge .REG files and much more.

And of course you can add/edit a Registry key and enter comments.
whoops...
