> What's wrong with Ansible?
The abomination built upon YAML and Jinja because they wanted a declarative system (programming is scary!), and later tried to make it Turing-complete.
Jinja filters for variable means you need to learn a third language: not only you need to know YAML and Python, now you need to learn all the idiosyncrasies of Jinja's syntax and filters. Add that with the terrible documentation, which explains everything by example, but there is no single, for example, reference page that lists all supported filters and functions.
