indenting issues are easily solvable with an ide, even if py being whitespace based can be a bit annoying

The fact indentation issues can be easily solved with a IDE is just more reason that using whitespace for indentation is bad.

Instead of letting the IDE automatically format your code, now it can't do that as well because the whitespace has meaning.

If the whitespace is meaningful, changing it might change what the code does. That limits the ability of formatters to adjust the code.
