I've always felt the argument against whitespace due to "indenting 2 spaces instead of 4 spaces" or something silly is like trying to argue "Braces are bad because you might forget to close a brace!" IDE's handle both scenarios. My IDE largely remembers how far in I should be indented and if I use a brace it closes it for me. If I program in a plain text-editor like Notepad - I still don't mess up my indenting any more than I forget to close a brace or parenthesis. It's a silly argument formed from speculation and "but its possible!" rather than reality.
