Oh man, I can't disagree more.

I loathe YAML for readability. When I'm 2 pages down on a yaml tree I have no clue how many indents exist before what I'm working on. Likewise, when I scroll up, I quickly lose track of what the actual parent to the data I was working on is. I've found it to be an absolute mess.

JSON doesn't even fit for me, because it's not human intended (imo). Being able to document (comments) configuration is a requirement for me on any config language.
