I came across https://kdl.dev recently, and it has become my favored yaml-replacement when normal code doesn't work. The data model is closer to XML than JSON, though, so unfortunately it's not a drop-in replacement fo

I must further prothelitize Amazon Ion, which solves for most of the listed complaints and is criminally underused: https://amazon-ion.github.io/ion-docs/ The "object and array need to be entirely and deep parsed&

For the TUI inclined, lazygit [1] and magit (emacs) [2] both have quick and intuitive ways of handling this. They're also both wonderful companions to the git cli for day to day version control. [1]: https://github.com/
