I like YAML.

I like that you can use anchors and merges. It greatly simplifies complex, repetive structures. And most of the complaints about yaml can be worked around by string-quoting.

The whitespace can get in the way if you're templating, but then you can also use [1, 2, 3] as a list notation, for example.

In fact, most of the complaints could be resolved by running it through a linter.
