Not if you use the "flow" style. The "flow" style makes the syntax almost tolerable. But, if you do that:

a) You don't get to use all of YAML. I remember that the '|' construction could not be used, and I believe that there was at least one other feature that was unavailable.

b) Get ready to get turbofucked when some YAML-handling library writes out your config file in "block" style, putting you right back in Indentation Hell.

After having worked with both professionally for many years, I'd say that I hate JSON and YAML just about equally.
