Python's whitespace requirements tend to make it clearer to read...

What projects have you worked on such that consistency of indentation was at all a meaningful factor to maintenance? I worry more about duplication and near duplication, testing efficacy, proper factoring, symbol naming, effective error handling, the possibility of fencepost errors, and clarity of intent.

Very well put.

In my experience unless you are hiring exceptionally bad programmers. You don't really have to worry about code indentation.

Seriously code indentation is all people worry about? I have bigger problems to worry about.
