Nah, yaml isn't great by virtue of itself but with what it competes with. I far, far prefer it to any other BS. Json is garbage for human creation and obviously toml due to above. XML... Obviously just for machines.

Again, only good because of its competition.

I prefer writing JSON by hand. The whitespace stuff in YAML is just such a nuisance as far as I'm concerned, which is odd as I have no problem with it in Python.
