From my point of view, most things related to software config is hierachical, meaning that a tree like structure is the most intuitive in understanding them. YAML is tree based, while TOML is section based. I find YAML much easier to keep track of. And I have great experience with Python, so the indentation is pretty straight forward for me.
But I'm not picking sides and defying the other. It's purely personal mind set related. Actually I do find some workflow very suited for TOML, like build systems, where each task is in its own section, shouting clear cut domain and dependency boundaries.
TOML is tree-based too. It's just more verbose than YAML for explicivity.
