Not true, look up indentation guides and whitespace visibility. Even my barebones editor has them and squashes ambiguity.

Still at some point one needs to be responsible for the code they write, braces or not. Braces are not a guaranteed solution either, if the author gives up complete responsibility.

Basically, this is a theoretical non-problem. The lack of braces pays back in readability every single day. Like +100 + -2, then complaining about the -2.

I write python all the time, with editors that support this. People do encounter this problem.

You'll also note that I've never claimed braces were better, I'm just trying to explain OP's pont.

You may not encounter it, but "Hey it works for me" is not a legitimate answer.
