As a heavy YAML user for a while (writing and maintaining Open API Spec files), YAML is also a catastrophe. I should not have to "debug" a config file because some tiny whitespace issue is off.

JSON as config isn't good, but YAML is not a silver bullet.

Definitely agree that YAML is not a silver bullet. One thing that I’ve found to improve my YAML editing experience is to use a YAML language server [1] backed by JSON schemas. It provides a real time feedback cycle rather than handing the file off to another program to choke cryptically.
