-1 on removing spaceless. On pages where you have lots of rows in a loop, the amount of whitespace you end up with can massively increase page loading times.
Sure, you could use whitespace stripping middleware I guess, but some people prefer not to have that. I agree that spaceless does make code look a little ugly, but without you would end up with people putting big loops on 1 single line, just to avoid the whitespace.
