Very little of this is uniquely a problem in Python. It seems to me that your problem is with software development in general.

My problem is with semantic whitespace

That's really the part I hate the most. it just feels wrong

That's the part I like the most. I don't want to work on any code that isn't properly formatted, and at that point why bother with curly braces, etc?

They help to digest the individual code blocks. My mind doesn't digest whitespace the same way, it simply interprets it as formatting.

It's also much more frustrating to edit imo since the formatter generally has no idea what to do with misaligned whitespace. I also find it frustrating that you can't do multiline lambdas, last I used it.
