When to use xml

I was reading a different thread about how over used xml is. I have also recently gained a understanding of xml. It excitetes me sexually. (but that beside the point)

I'm a big anti database person and pro file storage. I used to store everything in txt files. Now I am doing that in xml. All my recent projects have used xml and It works great.

Correct me if I am wrong...
Database - Many instances of many different values
xml - longer strings, many values and sub-categorys
txt - few values, extremely long values
