XML is a big improvement over YAML.

CSV encoded in EBCDIC is an improvement over YAML. God what an awful format...

YAML is great. For simple configuration files. For anything more complex it gets gnarly quick, but honestly? If I need a config file for a script I'm writing I will reach for YAML every time. It really is amazing for that use case.

I find yaml tolerable for cases where ini would have been just as good. Anything else, and… no, it’s bad.
