My text editor, KeenWrite[0], integrates YAML using a GUI, which hides the underlying data format[1]. This makes the format irrelevant from the end user's perspective. Hardly anybody edits .odf files or .png files directly, yet configuration files are often updated in a plain text editor rather than a GUI. Structured data formats are amenable to autogenerating GUIs (see [2] and [3]).
