I've often heard this argument about YAML being "clean", but over time I have realized that they are conflating minimalism with cleaninless, when they are two different things. That realization is what it took for me to realize why I didn't like it. I did _not_ find it clean, I found it "messy" by virtue of the increased cognitive overhead. But it is minimal at least compared to other formats. Other formats appear cleaner to me.
