Meanwhile, formats have been evolving (JSON5, YAML), config entry points are constantly changing. These fluctuations, fortunately, were covered by tools like the cosmiconfig.

That's a Lot of YAML
I think JSON5 is fairly close to this: https://json5.org
I reckon the only thing it's missing to be truly accessible to non-techies is that string values still need to be quoted, i.e. you can't have:
key: this is my value
(I'm definitely not saying it would be a good idea to allow quotes to be dropped, just that that's the only potential stumbling block I see for non-techies.)

XML is better than YAML
I believe that's JSON5.

It's my preferred configuration file format, it fixes all the problems I have with JSON (trailing commas, comments) without turning it into a mess full of gotchas like YAML.

I would like to see mention of JSON5 which is 11 years its elder. For comments in JSON, JSON5 is a good starting point.

No YAML
After evaluating several config file formats, I settled on JSON5 for work projects. Only issue for me is that sublime text doesn't have highlighting for it, though the hjson highlighting from package control works well enough. I should write one for JSON5...
Ironically the file format for sublime highlighting plugins is in YAML.
