YAML bashing is sooo tiresome. Yes it has quirks and tries to do too much. And yet JSON and TOML have their own broken idiosyncrasies as well. But in the end they are all trivially interchangeable with each other for 99% of their use cases.
But XML is not even a comparable standard. XML addresses an entirely different problem space. It cannot be directly mapped into baseline common data structures in most other languages like JSON/YAML/TOML.
Saying XML is “better” than YAML requires defining your problem space. Otherwise it just looks like you don’t really understand the difference between the two.
