After teaching Python for almost a decade, I've sort of found the indentation-as-structure thing is really only beneficial if someone's learned one other language with syntax-as-structure. It trips up beginners a *lot* because they don't know the structure already.

What I see is beginners don't know how code should be structured yet, and because of that the subtlety of 4 spaces indent isn't obvious to them. They'll put a return inside a for-loop and not realize that's going to fail and it's just 4 white-space that they have to see.

If you're an experienced developer from another language then you have the structure of code ingrained in your fingers and are probably tired of typing { } for it, so indentation is a breath of fresh air.
It's more error prone without that { } training first though.

Ehhhhhhh Ruby kind of does this and it's a disaster. Every narcissist with a blog post has his own wacky way of writing Ruby because it's "human". There's something to be said for "This is the one right way and stop being fancy."
