I just read that dom prefers "I want a vote" or "I don't want a vote", but actually I don't really care about the style insensitivity either way. I think many people who dislike it do so largely because they think of it as "impure" for people to have to care about style sensitivity (e. g. you are a noob if you were to rely on case sensitivity, such as PHP).
I myself do not see it that way simply because I actually think that the issue is between the human being, and the parser/lexer. So if it is not necessary, why should the parser care? I give you another example. Python mandates () for methods; in ruby the () are optional unless something is ambigous. I prefer the ruby way. Why? First, you can use the () anyway in ruby so you get the same as in python, except for in python they are MANDATORY. And I really hate mandatory syntax rules that restrict me in how I operate. It is for a similar reason I hate python's mandatory indent, since I can not copy/paste into the interactive python. This is why I think the style insensitivity is not really an issue save for people who think about "purity" of a language. But I don't really care either way enough to even want a vote, or not want a vote. There are so many other things to improve!
