Brackets are infinitely easier because any IDE (and most text editors) have a dead simple linting plugin which auto indents for you and lets you know when you fucked up. Your editor can barely do anything with whitespace only because everything is valid syntax.

Also lemme take this opportunity to say fuck yaml for exactly this reason.
