I don't think that there is an XMonad config file. XMonad is a library and the thing in your home directory is a program that gets compiled into being your window manager, implemented with that library.

Emacs and Vim aren't quite like that.

I use both vim and xmonad and have to disagree, as I have a lot of experience configuring both. Config for both is using a file in a programming language specific to each. One being compiled is not a significant difference IMO.
