I agree. The only way to have this language paradigm discussion productively is if we're all looking at two well written implementations of the same project in each.

Even then, I think the final conclusion (most likely "agree to disagree") will be that it's largely subjective, and heavily biased by familiarity.

Ultimately though, it's really just a distraction to avoid the much more controversial discussion we need to be having vis-à-vis tabs vs. spaces.
