On the contrary, I get quite annoyed losing track of indents and scoping. VSCode finally adding colored brackets has been a blessing in navigating legacy code with way too much nesting in the face of developers still unable to keep their code from scrolling horizontally and dividing methods / using different paradigms to prevent overnesting.
Also helps to just not have to spend the limited amount of focus on things that an IDE can cover for you. Programming has become far more complicated (no, not complex) in many ways, and we as a species haven't magically gotten a lot better at understanding it while we seem awfully good at writing things even more complicated.
