I should have said "whitespace" sensitive. I use either spaces or tabs depending on whatever standard was set by the codebase I work on (for personal projects, I use spaces). As for screen real estate, I couldn't care less. What I do care more about is not wasting time making sure indentation levels are correct after a nasty merge, or fat fingering something that changes the logic of a statement, or not being able to easily move a block to another or not being able to visualize which blocks are collapsed or not due to a lack of separation, etc. I've spent plenty of time in languages that are whitespace sensitive (python, haskell primarily) earlier in my career, but I would never go back.
