Plus it's coded in C++ and is easier to integrate (no manual stack manipulation like with Lua) I'd program most of the stuff in GameMonkey too - not having to compile to see your changes saves a LOT of time.

With a bit more time you can add a simple console to your game and tweak the values live and from there on you have a whole new world of possibilities to start with. Beats the hell out of clunky XML - it's great for interdependent data mostly changed using various tools but less ideal for fast and easy tweaks.
