      Agreed. YAML is a pain to edit manually, to ensure that all the tabulation is correct and the parser does not choke. JSON is passable, but you must be mindful about the brackets. XML is too verbose and duplicative. INI files are just good enough.

        That’s why I like TOML. It’s basically INI, but it has more structural features if you need them. Most of the TOML files I use look just like ini files.

        YAML is fine if you use a formatter. JSON’s ok to read but a pain to write imo. INI if it’s simple.
