The trailing comma thing gets me nearly every time I edit a json config file.

I don't think json supports comments, which makes it a non-starter for a lot of folks.

Extra fun: there's now JSONC which does support trailing commas and comments, and projects will use it with a .json extension still because Microsoft would hate for anything to ever be clear and make sense.
