One of the biggest gripes people have with json format is the lack of support for comments.
E.g. see this reddit thread.
Many libraries, including jsoncpp and RapidJSON have support for comments in spite of the RFC.
Additionally, RapidJSON allows further relaxations to grammar, e.g. trailing commas and nan/infinity for fp-numbers.
If we want to be user-friendly, perhaps we shouldn't alienate users that have need for comments in their config files?
