JSON is not a subset of YAML
Time spent complaining could be better spent on https://noyaml.com/ maybe :)
I agree it's a tired trope though, YAML has claimed its space in that weird niche between markdown and markup, and it seems as if it's filled the niche well enough to become ubiquitous.

Ask HN: What are your current programming pet peeves?
Currently, domain specific languages written in YAML. I see these everywhere, from configuring individual utilities to managing giant architectural stacks. People get in their heads that YAML is more easily written and read than code, and so instead of just writing the code to do something, users have to deal with a bunch of YAML.
The drawbacks of YAML have been well-documented[1]. And I think it's worse now in the LLM era. If I have a system that's controlled via scripts, an LLM is going to be good at modifying those scripts. Some random YAML DSL? The LLMs have seen far fewer examples, and so they're going to have a harder time writing and modifying things. There's also good tooling for linting and checking and testing scripts to ensure LLM output is correct. The tooling for YAML itself is more limited, even before getting into whatever application-specific esoteric things the dev threw in.

Yamlfmt: An extensible command line tool or library to format YAML files
I used yaml for some things back in the stone age (shout out to why the lucky stiff and syck). The more I used it, and the more I came in contact with it I started to dislike that it has so many features, and tries to be overly clever. I'm kind of surprised to see that it's making a comeback (or maybe it never went away).

I hope you've at least once stumbled upon the existence of https://noyaml.com/ and/or, at the time, were familiar with the quirks regarding number interpretation.
