One common indentation-related bug is caused by relying on the 
indentation to understand code, while the curly brace language 
compiler ignores what you were seeing and only sees the braces. I 
have seen many cases of delayed code understanding caused by 
that. Making the syntax more DRY (this means stating the logical 
indentation using only one communication channel) helps avoid 
those mistakes (and reduces the visual noise, further helping 
code readability).
