Please do not use YAML. It's a syntactic minefield. It also doesn't allow tab indentation, which is supremely irritating.

As I said, I like it the most, so I will use it. I like its syntax (except for yes and no for booleans, but nothing's perfect). I don't care much for tabs vs spaces, I use tab in my IDE and whatever it does, it does.
