In a pointer from Alexey Zakhlestin's blog, YAML is extensively used by Symfony Framework and there is also a component for Zend Framework in development. But it’s use is not limited by something big — YAML is a perfect solution for configuration-files (way more comfortable than Ini or XML). Thanks to Alexey for the pointer.
