I despise yaml. On top of the points from the article, I never know where to indent and how whitespace is handled on multiline fields.

Just a yucky standard all-around



Whitespace gets weird with indenting code.

I use block scalars constantly now, with liberal use of the trimming dashes all over the place.

Any time I need to preserve some indentation in my result, I always hate the formatting I’m left with, especially if there is logic involved.
