Honestly, nothing. Except the endless debate on where the braces go, and how long they're allowed to stay on a single line.

It seems trivial, but replacing scope delimiters with a per-line signifier (i.e. indent) makes the scope of each line self-contained and sidesteps that discussion.

Is that worth YAYAML (Yet another YAML)? I don't know. But I certainly get the desire to skip the discussion :)



But it can't be minified without keeping the line endings and whitespace, unlike JSON.


You don't need to convince me. The question was "why would people want this", not "why are they wrong to want it" :)
