We are also fans:
For our everyday workhorse typeface, we exchanged Roboto for Inter. Roboto is a little bit narrow, and it turns out that Inter was developed by a Swede living in San Francisco, Rasmus Andersson, as a solution to a bunch of limitations he found with Roboto. It looked good and it was widely available free of charge. Tack själv, Rasmus!

Thanks gsmecher.
We lean on YAML for writing automated hardware test scripts and have good reasons for it.
JSON doesn't allow comments which are needed for a distributed team to understand the meaning of the tests.

We use YAML to capture a structured description of a large instrument deployment. Comments are absolutely key for us. The YAML is revision controlled in git and annotating it as a document (rather than as data) is a huge benefit.
Tagged YAML allowed us to replace an older system that had ten times as much code. Now, there are far fewer, much warmer code paths, and it's easier to use and far less scary to maintain as a result.
Other markups are not the only alternative to this kind of thing. I expect many developers would reach for a database (SQLite?) as a storage medium. However, keeping our data accessible in plain text has been a huge benefit.
