I'm bitchy about YAML purely because of the last dozen times I tried writing some by hand, I failed because YAML syntax is more obscure than my current understanding. I recall going to the YAML web site to find a quick description but there was just a big reference doc and that was more overhead than I wanted. YAML is supposed to be simple, right? Well it's not. Actually, I don't think YAML is supposed to be simple. I'd rather write my data in Perl or lisp. The former is common to everyon here and the latter is so simple that any moron can write it.
