Yep. Consistency beats "syntactic noise". In fact lack of consistency is noise. If semicolons are always present, then my brain filters them out. If they are never present then great (yay! Python)

However - occasionally present or absent semicolons means I have to think about each situation - at least to a small degree.

The only place when you really need semicolons Kotlin are the enum constants, everything else can be considered "strictly no semicolons", so pretty consistent.
