Kubernetes' YAML problem stems from its CLI tooling, and yes it was an atrocious choice once templating came in and visited horrors like helm on us. Internally, the the k8s api speaks only JSON, and you can already stuff whatever json you like in a yaml file.

Why does helm get all the hate?

I like helm. Helm has so much to offer and it’s not complicated.

It’s basically like handlebars/ mustache using golang.

Handlebars/mustache was what early angular/react used for templating.

Yeah and they migrated away from it for good reason.

Look inside any bitnami chart and tell me that's anything you want to maintain. I'd rather have types and not have to count spaces for `nindent`.
