It’s a trade off in how the parsing works. No tool is perfect. :shrugs:
The accepted safe default is to use double quotes. If folks don’t know that then that’s on them, not the tool. It’s in the spec.
Good workmen don’t blame their tools.
Edit — I know the UX tenet. I’ve worked in places where they thought using YAML for end users was a good idea. It’s not. It never will be. It’s a backend tool for engineers. So I agree with you in that specific UX case.
But this isn’t an end-user UX case. It’s backend platform configuration.
Use the right tool for the job, and use it the way it’s been designed —> Double quote strings in YAML.
