I never really liked Python's indentation-instead-of-curly-brackets thing, why are people reusing it?

Python has remained in the top 5 (often near or at the top) most used programming languages for years. Meaningful whitespace is not stopping people from using it in enough numbers to make it clear that it's a detriment as a language feature.
Because whether you like it is not really of any importance to most people.
As most other things - you get used to it.
But it's important to note, at you need editor support for rendindenting blocks easily and correctly.
