YAML is good for simple use, like Windows INI. It is good for data collection from many sources. It is good for simple append data into file.

But I prefer XML for complex hierarchical data stucture. XML schema is good, but schema free wellformed XML is good enought. Elements, attributes, entities, comments, processing instructions, charsets, tools, ... all you need is XML.
