I have a deja vu over YAML and XML. There was a similar discussion about this a month or so ago, IIRC.
And I haven't changed my opinion since then, having worked extensively with XML: it is a plague that was brought on into the world and it needs to be killed with fire. I understand that when it was released there were no other alternatives so "it was better than nothing", but it should have died right after JSON was invented. But no, why have cleanly formatted file when you can have an XML one...
