Most? I guess it depends, I almost exclusively use YAML because I find it easier (mainly because I can copy & paste), but almost every time I could also use the UI.

UI support has vastly improved in recent versions and you are now able to get a pretty good setup without using yaml at all. Some quite interesting integrations however do still require it (e.g., trend, bayesian), so yaml is needed if you want to utilize home assistant to the max.

The things I mentioned are niches however, so I assume for the „regular“ user almost everything can now be setup via the UI.
