Thanks for all the responses. I especially like the Pike pointer.
To be clear:
1. I don't think languages should depend on invisible elements to
determine logic.
2. Having been an employer, it is difficult to force programmers to
use any particular editor or style. Different editors handle tabs
and spaces differently. This is all a bloody nightmare with Python.
3. Languages that use braces (or the like) can be run through a
program beautifier to correct the indentation. You are just screwed
in Python. So, Python may be a cute language for you to use as an
individual, but it is unwieldy in a real development environment.
4. Language beautifiers used on bracey languages removes all
arguments in favor of an off-side language.

While I certainly don't have your background or depth of experience...
do you really think that over the last 20 odd years that Python has
been around that #2 and #3 have not been hammered out?
Honestly, this is starting to smell more and more like a troll...
