Is that a problem with whitespace or your test/qa/release process? A curly brace language isn't any less likely to lose user data to a bug just because it has curly braces.

It is less likely to cause problems, because a removed curly brace won't parse correctly, and won't be hidden when someone excludes whitesoace from a diff.

Surely it is good advice not to exclude whitespace from a diff when using a whitespace-sensitive language?

Your -if- clause sans curly braces definitely still parses.
Depends on the language.
