Likely the Python-like/Whitespace-sensitive language issue is vastly more polarizing than people suspect. Possibly, if a person was introduced to a certain style with their first language (maybe second), it can become a preference. Then add to that, the compiler is enforcing a certain style, and perhaps a lot of people are being turned off/away. I can't even count the number times, over the years, I've had the silliest discussions with people about Pascal syntax. Untold numbers of people used to C-like syntax could not get over begin...end, instead of {...}. Then, even in Pascal circles (and other languages), there was the space versus tab or K&R versus Allman style preferences. It might seem trivial on the surface, but don't think it is. If a person has spent years working with things a certain way, that's what they are comfortable with. Depending on the person, it can take a lot or there has to be very strong incentives to pull them out of their comfort zone. People might look at Nim (or other languages), on just that aspect alone, and not be interested.
