I don’t care which format is used for manual edits so long as it’s strict (no flimsy type coercions, possible to auto-format, possible to use a schema), and supports comments. For wire/data formats I don’t care at all. Perf/size and library support is the only factor there but xml or json will do up to the point when I can use protobuf or something similar. I don’t like the conventions/opinionated-ness of obit though. The absence of a set of things is usually not the same as an empty set of things, for example.
