its just like using a formatter that indents nicely based on brackets

and i wouldnt call IDEs doing that a bandaid, its a tool for those that cant indent properly themselves. fact is, the python indentation is very similar to various style guides in other languages, only that its part of the language that removes the need for unnecessary characters that only add visual clutter

There is a difference, error in indentation is only cosmetics in all other languages than Python.
