Well, I have a somewhat fresh take on it, as complex algebra (and therefore mathematics and programming) yields me migraine-like symptoms. Sadly, if I might add. So I am def. in game for the most simple markup language (JSON isn't it, I know that much, its was convenient to pick up hype because people who work with web design already knew JavaScript which was and is popular among web designers or frontend devs as its called nowadays).
In the end, its all structured. Even a letter is structured, but just with language and courtesy rules (grammar, for example). There's different levels of quality and complexity in that field, too. There's only so much you can do with ASCII characters to make text more structured. You quickly descent into the world of adding programming syntax to it (one asterisk for bullet point or two asterisks for bold are already). You can keep it very simple, you still gotta know the markup rules, as simple as they are.
In gaming, there's an adagio: easy to learn, hard to master. I believe a good language holds true to that. Mathematics certainly does (with exceptions).
With regards to JSON though, when you unjustify it, and you use syntax highlighting, is it really that bad? I find the only annoying thing is when you add an entry, you have to ensure the comma is correctly there (or not), but syntax highlighting and habit helps there.
