I don't particularly like YAML because whenever I see something written in YAML, it's not completely obvious to me how to modify it.
When I see JSON, I can sort of remind myself of the syntax: OK, things are comma separated, braces are matched, keys/strings are quoted, and that's it.
When I see YAML, I have to open some manual page with the syntax. (Ditto for anything with "vague" syntax like Wiki, Markdown, etc.)
I personally think that "vague" syntax is a bad thing in computer languages, and it's better to keep syntax to rather obvious minimum. Like in s-expressions, for example.
