Don't worry. A lot of people still use YAML in preference to
Config::General style .conf.
Both are still fully supported.
The main reason that the default for generated apps was changed is
that it's _FAR TOO EAY_ for a newbie to mess up the whitespace in
YAML (especially when copying it out of POD sections).
This caused a large amount of confusion for people new to the
framework, therefore we changed to Config::General as it doesn't have
those drawbacks.
I still exclusively use YAML in my apps (as it's what I'm used to,
and what all of work's none Catalyst stuff already used).
