Great question. I actually didn't know until after I published this that YAML is a superset of JSON. Other than that, I didn't really consider YAML only because it doesn't seem to have very good uptake in JS-land.
Looking at it a bit now, though, I think there might be some value in incremental improvements to JSON, where the syntax is still valid JavaScript, rather than a different and much larger syntax.
