The Norway Problem
I prefer JSON over YAML because I spend more time confused and burned by the problems caused by it.
I understand that people don't like directly use JSON because it's not very friendly: no comments, no multi-line string, etc.
A great alternative IMHO is cson[0]. It's like JSON to JavaScript but for CoffeeScript (though nobody talks about it nowadays). It has indentation-based syntax, comments, and multiline string which usually don't need to escape. The advantage is it's close enough to JSON which is the canonical format that everybody can agree on nowadays. For YAML and TOML there are too many visual part-aways from JSON.
Or just create a JSON variant that enables comments and the backtick multiline string from JavaScript.

The Norway Problem
You might look at JSON Next variants (if you remember - "classic" JSON is a subset of YAML), see https://github.com/json-next/awesome-json-next
my own little JSON Next entry / format is called JSON 1.1 or JSONX, that is, JSON with eXtensions, see https://json-next.github.io/
