I'm kinda curious what's so difficult about writing JSON. I imagine it's quite subjective, but I've found the explicit bit of JSON to be nice. My editor is going to spit out matching brackets, quotes, braces, etc.
I think, at least for me, when I'm writing JSON in a document I can just go "I need a map, type `{`" and "I need a list, type `[`" and I like that.
I think my biggest gripe with YAML, TOML, etc is that to save me a few keystrokes I often end up playing this game of "Ok now how will the library interpret this, I'm adding a line here, it's indented, let me scroll up, ok, the last logical thing that happened was X so it's going to interpret this as a list item..." and that feels so taxing to me.
