Excessive use of YAML and JSON seem one of the current maladies among
developers. I'm starting to notice command line utilities with JSON
output options too, e.g. lsblk.  Hmmm, well, maybe that would be handy
to certain people who use certain languages, but it seems like bloat.

OpenBSD remains quite usable. Can't beat them if the question is one of
good design taste, IMO. At least I don't find myself constantly
scratching my head wondering who had an issue with the old incarnation
of a revamped (for the 2nd or 3rd time in some cases) subsystem there
like I do with Linux. You won't find as many device drivers of
course.
