Recently been working on a rails app and been forced to use nano for editing one a remote server and it's now that I really see the niceness of YAML. I always like YAML with ruby but I think a lot of the great features are subtle and hard to appreciate. Inheritance! What a great idea for a configuration language. Greatly missed in JSON.

Anything you can express in YAML, you can express in JSON. I'm not saying I would choose JSON over YAML for configuration... but it's definitely not lacking in equal flexibility in use for structure.
