Actual delimiters explicitly structure your code, and then automatic formatting confirms it, kind of like double-entry book-keeping.
For me, just a couple of days with lisp and parentheses made me wish every language had such simple explicit syntax, I really recoil at some language's special syntax, eg python list comprehension. Maybe I just hate python, lol.
