I agree about the non-optimal syntax, but it comes down to nicer syntax
(where JSON at least is not _too_ bad) vs. standard format (familiarity,
data exchange, proven design and implementation). And while data
exchange could worked around with export/import functions, considering
that these files are usually just 4 to 20 lines long, I personally would
put less weight on the syntax issue than on the others.

BTW, I think YAML as a superset of JSON is also a good contender with
nice syntax features, but also much more complex.
