It looks like you're just way more used to XML than other formats. Not knowing YAML doesn't make XML any less terrible.

It took me 10 minutes to learn the YAML format and I find it incredibly more expressive, powerful and readable than XML.

Have you noticed that YAML specs are noticeably longer than that of XML? (Of XML 1.0, in particular; and that spec describes both the serialization format and a simple grammar description language.)
