Regarding reason 3 (syntax), I don't mind significant whitespace in itself, but it has knock-on effects which can be problematic. It's the direct cause of Python's `lambda` limitations [1], and IIRC the lack of an explicit end-of-block marker is also the reason for Python not having `do-while` loops. However, what would be the alternative to significant indentation? I really don't think C-style syntax would work for Python...
