If I'm viewing poorly formatted code it's literally one key chord for me to auto-format it. It's a complete non-issue.

    Interesting... so in the end, if the whitespace is not telling you what the code is doing, you reformat it so that it does?

    Imagine if there were languages that just let you skip that step entirely!

    The step I want to skip is having to go back and tab over lines when I've moved code or when things don't paste properly and tabbing gets messed up.

    Imagine if there were languages that let you just explicitly state where code blocks start/end and let the IDE handle the formatting for you?
