Agreed. I find such complaints very strange, as most people already follow Python-like indentation rules quite strictly in most other languages, but need to add delimiters as well. Indentation is the clearest indication of code structure, so when it's not significant it still looks significant, leading to bugs like:

  if(condition)
      do_thing1();
      do_thing2(); //not in the if!
  do_thing3();
