People hate on spacing, but people rarely talk about the benefits that specific spacing has. Yeah, sure, you can complain about how strict it might be, and complain about how it can cause bugs when something is mis-indented. But it's not like brace-languages are perfect either. How about people who mix tabs & spaces within a single line because of lack of discipline or maybe a mistake from refactoring code? Imagine that nightmare of rereading that based on what editor you use. Missing braces can sometimes be annoying and difficult to find, and placing the brace in the wrong place can result in bad code. Isn't that equivalent to a lingering whitespace in Python? Yeah sure, you might say "Once you code enough, that usually doesn't happen" But Pythonistas can say the same thing with their indentation. It's just a different way of programming. Get over it.
