I thought TOML was nice until I tried writing a parser that handled nested tables. There's very little convergence between libraries because it's such a hard / ambiguous problem. I thought I was making good progress until I tried burntsushi's edge case test suite. It reminded me of implementing YAML. TOML is slightly nicer to write than JSON if your structure is flat, like a php.ini or Cargo.toml file. Other than that, I prefer the simplicity of JSON as well as the buy-in of JSON Schema support in apps like VS Code. We too often do this thing as craftspeople where we dramatize how much minor pain points impact our lives while ignoring the upsides.
