Generaly speaking, what is machine readable is screenreader friendly

To me, it's more importent to have an extensive documentation explaning
what a text file output contains than spending time on getting the
"correct" output.

I'd say it also depends on the kind of output. For example, I am very
happy with the currentoutput of `git status` and I am not sure I
wouldwant it to be in any structured format like JSON or YAML.

Not to say these formats are a bad idea in general, but rather that they
may not always be the best choice.



With regard to git status, you are talking about human readable output
while I'm talking about machine readable output (porcelain)! ;^)

Anyway, the OP will choose what is best in his case!
