God damn I hate YAML. It's an abysmal format for anything more than one line. Trying to grok some Home Assistant automations and tracing the indentations and weird - and * grouping is horrible. In Python indenting with whitespace is fine as you rarely have more than a few levels of indentation, but YAML config files can be really deep.

I guess this is a Microsoft format?

That said, the way automations are configured in Home Assistant must be one of the worst ways to configure things I've seen. YAML is definitely not suitable for this. It's especially true when you edit in an environment that has no context sensitive help.
