It's also terrible for configs, for many of the reasons specified in the article.

Fair point, that’s why I said I won’t pick it. But it still might be a good and simple choice for small configs, hand written. It does explode when it’s machine generated or templated.

I think it’s also strictly connected with the ecosystem devs are working with, ruby or python devs usually pick YAML, JavaScript/Node devs with JSON - this is how it works, ppl chose what they know and what they are used to.
