This isn’t a competition, they are tools. Ansible is widely used and will continue to be so for a long long time. Its foundations - ssh, python and yaml are also in for the long run to manage infrastructure...
Yaml is on the way out, Cuelang will replace it where it's used for infra. It's quite easy to start by validating yaml and then you quickly realize how awesome having your config in a well thought-out language is!
