YAML? That’s very surprising to me (I grew up in the XML-for-everything days). Would this be the first-ever first-party Microsoft project to use YAML?

Azure (DevOps) Pipelines use YAML. Not sure if that counts?

Not sure about YAML, but I was happy to see Windows Terminal use JSON for configuration instead of XML.

VS Code also uses JSON for configuration, IIRC.

Yes, it uses jsonc (“JSON with Comments”), which is even better. :-)
