I can't help wonder how much better YAML would've been with minimal delimiters instead of significant-whitespace. The big feature (X/YA)ML has over JSON is distinction between properties and children; which I think is pretty cool for many use-cases. Lack of comments is also a big limitation of JSON, and of course there's the huge legacy ecosystem behind XML. But I've never seen significant whitespace be a good thing; this alone makes YAML decidedly not "human readable", speaking as someone who doesn't work with it very often.
