It inconveniences you, but is rationalized with that it ultimately makes the world a little safer for everyone, including you. Me, I unindent temporary code like debug-print statements and literals overriding actual data. This makes it impossible to commit by accident. But my argument against whitespace sensitivity would be that bad and unreadable code is bad and unreadable regardless of its whitespace. In fact, force-formatting it just hides the evidence.
