And the associated detriments. Just imagine opening up phobos and seeing:

  // 1200 lines of code
  with (import foo)
  {
    // 300 lines of declarations...
    with (import bar)
    {
      // 250 lines of additional declarations...
    }
  }

All mixed in with structs and functions and conditional compilation, so 
you have a sea of curly braces to wade through and indentation is only a 
mild help.
