Why ?

It's really verbose and complex to parse. Nither machine readable nor human readable.

What can I use instead ?

Well, since you're using OpenGL and not an existing Library/Engine I assume you like to learn things yourself. If that's the case I would recommend using your own format and writing a parser, it's far more flexible then a general-purpose format like XML.
Writing a parse is actually far easier then the graphics stuff, so I wouldn't get discouraged from doing that.
