      My biggest peeve with JSON when I’m forced to use it as a configuration format is that it doesn’t have any syntactical support for comments.

      So I can’t even add any notes to the file.

        Yep this for me too. Thankfully VSCode allows comments in its settings.json / launch.json files but most programs use strict JSON which doesn’t allow comments

        Yea, this is a deal breaker imo. My code tends to be 10 to 1 comments to lines of code ratio. Configuration even more so.

        jsonc/json5 exists for this use case, but few tools actually use it, yaml is far more popular
