I never really liked Python's indentation-instead-of-curly-brackets thing, why are people reusing it?
Python has remained in the top 5 (often near or at the top) most used programming languages for years. Meaningful whitespace is not stopping people from using it in enough numbers to make it clear that it's a detriment as a language feature.
As most other things - you get used to it.
But it's important to note, at you need editor support for rendindenting blocks easily and correctly.
Because whether you like it is not really of any importance to most people.
I love it. I'm gonna indent anyways for clarity!
