Not necessarily. I've been using python for about a year or so and I still
dislike indentation. Indentation can make your code less readable and leads to
mysterious errors. I'm sure the strict use of indentation keeps a lot of potential users
away from python. However, I feel that the other features of the language 
outweigh this disadvantage.
