I still use HA but haven't upgraded in a good while. Partially because of the switch away from YAML, and partially because that link left a pretty sour taste in my mouth.

- anonymous_sorry 3y agoWild. I recognise that I'm starting to become more dependent on Home Assistant. It offers me a lot of value, but this makes me rather worried.
- asylteltine 3y agoWho cares and there was no such switch away from yaml

Just one relevant quote: > Any new integration that communicates with devices and/or services, must use configuration via the UI. Configuration via YAML is only allowed in very rare cases, which will be determined on a case by case basis.
- asylteltine 3y agoIt’s misleading at best. You can configure literally everything via yaml including your dashboard. Mine runs custom js and css for crying out loud. Even if they changed some options that can’t be configured via yaml which I haven’t encountered, what’s the actual damage to you?
- etedor 3y agoThe result is things can no longer be configured via YAML, which is the direction they have been moving in for years.
