I'm in the same boat. I've never had a problem with this, and
it baffles me that
people keep thinking that it's an issue.
I might just be weird, though.
Well, you are. ;)
But not because of this.

P.S. #1 reason to hate languages which don't use braces:
there's no way in vim
to hop to the beginning or end of a scope block (or function)
from the other
end. And _man_ is that annoying. God bless braces.
That would be an issue with your editor of choice not the
languages in question - I'm sure there are more suitable
editors/IDEs for such languages which are indent aware (as well
as scripts that add that functionality for vim).
