Agreed. From readability perspective, I started out with INI, which I ditched partially due to having no standard on the format and skipped JSON when it can't add comments, skipped YAML for not looking too intuitive, considered JSON5 but skipped for being not popular enough and landed on TOML.

And I skipped toml for an object-array syntax that makes baby Jesus cry.

None of these problems are hard, why are all the solutions so awful?

XML, generally. I hate it but I've given up on its "successors".
