It's like learning to write but not wanting to learn punctuation. You might end up with the Ulysses but more likely than not you'd end up with something that other people and yourself won't be able to understand well when you look at it on the next day. That said, I'm in the camp of curly braces (or equivalent) plus an autoindenter. Either a code formatter or the editor itself. Braces and random indentation is the worst that can happen.
