I guess this just all opinion on both sides here, but personally I find the declarative JSON approach to a huge turn-off. I dislike json for anything I have to write and maintain manually. And I find most anything declarative to be rather miserable. Sooner or later, you want some kind of logic, so end up with these bizantine DSLs where doing something as basic as a conditional feels like putting a man on the moon. From terraform's HCL to ROS launch files, I have yet to meet a declarative framework that actually makes sense.
