This is where I stand. Semicolons convey intent, much like parens in math equations. Sure, the code makes it clear (if you understand the rules) what "the code does", but having semicolons (and parens) make it clear that "what the code does" and "what the writer intended the code to do" are the same thing.

Plus I don't think I've ever seen a case where semicolons made the code harder to read (or write).
