Indentation is a wonderful form of commentary from programmer to programmer, but its symbology is largely wasted on the computer. We don't tell poets how to format their poetry.
When you put it like that, I'm almost converted. My favourite language that does indentation as syntax is Haskell - where it's optional, so I'm not really all that passionate about it. I just don't mind it.
