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.
