Many (too many) programers seem to take a viewpoint of "only type the minimum numbers of characters necessary to get something to work." Then they make their programming goal to be the least characters possible as long as the compiler accepts their input.

complaining about ambiguity because they learn how the language works.

Some programmers also enjoy learning all the ambiguous edge cases then making sure their code fits them exactly in the way they intend, but not necessarily the way others will read the code.

That's why we end up with awful things like "if (abc) def; else hij;" or worse "if (abc) { def; } else hij;", etc. Plus, if your language isn't line-sensitive, using weak syntax but pretty alignment is just a recipe for future failures a few steps removed from when you originally introduced the future inconsistencies.
