    Yaml has a cleaner syntax and it's more "strict". You can read about YAML here.
    I think it would be a lot better for the client configuration, kag base and modding.
    It allows strings without quotes, thus allowing some characters like the '#' which in the .cfg file are used as comments.

    As @FunATuns pointed out, you'd either have to translate all the code or have a script that somehow translates.YAML code to .CFG for the code base - but I do agree, that does look easier!
