TOML's nested array/object syntax is awful. At a glance, it's nearly impossible to tell whether something is a parent, child, or siblings node.

It is a large codebase with a mix of new and legacy (Emby) modules. Errors or intermittent issues seem common, and nobody really seems to understand what's happening. Many of the dependencies, especially for the legacy modules, are old
