I have a suspicion that a lot of people who rant about makefiles using tabs also praise python for the brilliance of using whitespace for scoping. Or who love yaml for its indented block structure.

Nah, who am I kidding ... no one loves yaml, it's just better than most of the alternatives.

I quite like python's whitespace requirements, but notably it doesn't care what your stance is on tabs vs spaces, or how many spaces, so long as you're consistent in a block. Never liked yaml, though, I don't think it's better than any of the alternatives.

For what I use YAML for, there are no alternatives for it except obscure formats like HCL.
