If you're starting fresh maybe try both before integrating on a coded workflow, but either will probably serve just fine for 2d games.
That still leaves a lot to be desired. Am I expected to write all the code to import this format into my engine of choice? That's not exactly "easy".
For instance, is there tooling to import into GameMaker? That would seem to be table stakes.

Looks pretty cool! I’m looking around the docs to find some import instructions for a common engine.
