When creating a new project in intelliJ, it seems that now Yaml is the preselected default configuration. Wasn't until recently HOCON the recommended and default? Any reason behind this change?

The Yaml format is more commonly used for configuration files.

@Aleksei Tirman [JB] does now Yaml for ktor support placeholders / default values?
