My biggest pain point is the fact that OpenAPI uses YAML. They always demo it with the simple short examples but soon as you go above a handful of endpoints the YAML will be just horrible to maintain. This is not my only pain point with OpenAPI but it's definitely my biggest. I'd rather use something else and then generate out OpenAPI specs

You can write it in JSON, you know. Not even "JSON as a subset of YAML" but actual JSON. The proposed media types are application/openapi+yaml and application/openapi+json

I evidently need to put this reply in a hotkey or something, because it comes up every time someone rants about yaml, but if you hate yaml so much then write it in json as yaml is a superset of json
