Me too.

1. In the last 12 years I never touched a .cf file directly, always
   maintained the .mc files and generated the .cf files via m4.
   The default config provided by most distros (Fedora in my case)
   is pretty sane, so there is very little to change.

2. I always customized sendmail.mc and not submit.mc, but maybe
   it's because I'm using full sendmail as my mail-hub for my
   internal network. Maybe I should switch to ms-smp for my
   laptop as well.

Sendmail is bad for some people. Switch the people ;-)
