I don't have problems with it, but I also never had an issue with Python's whitespace, or languages without semicolons, or languages which prefer to use begin/end blocks. I don't get why it's a big deal. The one exception to that is when switching between languages. Sometimes one forgets which language one is in and a syntax error will result. Like using the dot operator to concatenate strings in Python or leaving semicolons off the end of PHP statements.
