- throwaway284534 10y agoWe don't always have the luxury of an IDE when working on a remote machine or debugging. Despite JSON's shortcomings, the developer community found it on the whole more pleasant to work with. It's the same argument that Lisp users make. The two are more expressive, more capable, more safe. It's also very dense and intimidating. You can come up with all the justifications you'd like. It won't win the hearts of developers.
