I see this comment every time for many of years in almost every discussion about using JSON for configuration and while YAML is certainly used by many projects most of the people still continue to use JSON and I think that's because YAML sometimes feels like Scala of serialization markups when people just want something like Python. I personally think that TOML[0] is not only more simple but also as easy to read as YAML and we use it in our projects without any issues.

TOML is ok too, though I still like YAML better personally. I honestly didn't really like ini files much at any point, even when everything on windows used them, so TOML starts from an unhappy premise for me.
