Yea, this is a deal breaker imo. My code tends to be 10 to 1 comments to lines of code ratio. Configuration even more so.
jsonc exists for this use case, but few tools actually use it, yaml is far more popular
My biggest peeve with JSON when I’m forced to use it as a configuration file format is that it doesn’t have any syntactical support for comments.
So I can’t even add any notes to the file.

Yep this for me too. Thankfully VSCode allows comments in its settings.json / launch.json files but most programs use strict JSON which doesn’t allow comments
