Why YAML sucks? (programming.dev)

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?

Any language in which whitespace has syntactic value is intrinsically flawed.

Can't speak to your specific issues, but that's why yaml will always suck.

It's the only time that tabs Vs spaces really riles me up. So annoying when everyone has different tab lengths
