I have experienced that. I've also found that it's depressingly easy
to forget to close a block, and that active support from the editor is
fairly crucial. This may be a consequence of using syntactically
blocked languages for so long. Other people obviously like the
indentation-sensitized style. F# supports both styles, and a small
majority of users seem to use the indentation-sensitive approach.
