Looks more like something from the Rube Goldberg regions of Comp Sci than a useful tool to me.
vi /etc/something.conf is fine for a one time change.
cp /etc/something_scenario_1.conf /etc/something.conf and cp /etc/something_scenario_2.conf /etc/something.conf is fine for a periodic change.
Have a few something.confs to change - as in you are using your laptop at work and then using your laptop at home, well there is nothing wrong with wrapping a group of something.conf changes in a shell script.
Neither the article nor the "tool's" web page make it clear to me what is gained by adding (IMO) a complex, and apparently needless layer of abstraction to a simple and straight forward issue.
