For me, the brackets, commas, and quotes are what make json readable (and writable).

I really struggle to write yaml. I end up writing it as json and converting it. I agree about ini though.

Since valid JSON is also valid YAML with the same semantics, it is impossible for it to be harder to write YAML than JSON, and no conversion is necessary.

JSON is unpleasant (for me, more unpleasant than XML), but at least it doesn't attempt to be clever like TOML and YAML.
