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?

Can address it by writing code that doesn't depend much on indentation, which also makes code more linear and easier to follow.

Yes, totally agree, and it applies to formats and language syntaxes even if braces are used.
