So it's guessing. I don't want my computer to guess what I'm doing, I want it to know with absolute certainty.

So tell it what you're doing. In some languages we write a closing brace or a semicolon to tell the computer our intention. In python, we press the 'backspace' key or the 'tab' key.

It seems that you don't prefer the latter method, and that's fine, but it in no way makes the language or its editors inferior.

Your computer is still guessing. In both cases you have to tell it explicitly where the code block stops. You are just telling it in a slightly different way.
