Boost.Serialize does a great job, but is not very flexible in the way that the data is serialized.
This statement is incorrect. By writing a custom archiver class you can create virtually any output you want via serialization. That said, it's clearly harder to do the simple sorts of things I believe output formmaters is trying to achieve (haven't really looked at the lib yet), serialization requires the building/linking of the library, etc. So I think there's room for both...
