I feel that Yaml sucks. I understand the need for such markup language but I think it sucks. Somehow it's clunky to use. Can you explain why?

That is amazing.

If my website ever gets married, I'm going to invite this website to stand next to it as a bridesmaid - because it makes my website look pretty by comparison.

Sadly, unreadable on mobile. Text doesn't word wrap, dragging to pan it is annoying and makes the keyboard show up.
