YAML failed the intelligence test of getting its name right in the first place: "Yet Another Markup Language". YAML is NOT a markup language, in any way shape or form, yet the people who designed and named it earnestly thought they were designing a markup language, and that there was a need for yet another one.
Only when somebody pointed out that obvious fact to them, did they come up with a recursive retronym to paper over their initial stupidity: "YAML Ain't Markup Language". How clever by half.
I prefer to use formats that were designed by people who actually knew what they were doing and what it was called and how it was meant to be used.
