Same here, it is very difficult for me to tell levels of nested structures in yaml. Though I'm sure if I sat down and read up on it I could force it into my brain. But shouldn't it be intuitive to read without that?

Precisely.

Python has exactly the same problem -- control-structure nesting quickly gets confusing and hard to read beyond a certain (fairly small) size -- but at least with python, you have the option of splitting off stuff into separate functions to limit the amount of nesting and size of blocks.
