One article from one developer means what exaclty?  Perhaps he wasn't
writing enough lines of code per day to be stay happy using Rails?

Well if all you do is toy projects then XML is fine.

<user id="babooey" on="cpu1">
  <firstname>Bob</firstname>
  <lastname>Abooey</lastname>
  <department>adv</department>
  <cell>555-1212</cell>
  <address password="xxxx">ahunter@xxxxxxxxxxxx</address>
  <address password="xxxx">babooey@xxxxxxxxxxxx</address>
</user>

versus the Yaml equivalent:

babooey:
  computer: cpu1
  firstname: Bob
  lastname: Abooey
  cell: 555-1212
  addresses:
    - address: babooey@xxxxxxxxxxxx
      password: xxxx
    - address: babooey@xxxxxxxxxxxx
      password: xxxx

The time saved writing Yaml instead of XML makes a huge difference to
me.  Similar savings are to be had when comparing PHP to most anything
except Java.
