It's easy to read as long as you are dealing with normal INI style key
assignments and maps. But once you start having arrays of maps, I
agree that it's not very readable.
Reasons I like TOML: Concise spec, mutli-line strings support like
Python, indentation insensitivity. All of that makes the job of
auto-generating (and parsing) TOML very easy.
