XML also has some other issues (no typing, to many ways to have maps but non seems to be the correct way etc.)

JSON just isn't mean to be written by humans (no comments).

But YAML is just horrible, like the whole accidental mistyping issues (NO => false) are just horrible and not acceptable IMHO. That it's a pretty complex thing doesn't help either.

I honestly don't understand why we (e.g. github actions) still use YAML for new thinks even knowing all the issues especially if we, there are many other well suited decent but less wide spread alternatives.
