I love braces and semicolons and my biggest gripe with CoffeeScript and HAML and Python was that they used space to delimit blocks. The good thing about braces is that moving code around is easy and it makes auto-formatting possible. refmt, prettier etc. are all amazing to have. But in terms of syntactic preferences, it is quite subjective and I wouldn't claim there is one true answer.
