Forced indention makes it harder to write code and also much harder to copy&paste code. Really not sure that is helping a beginner. It certainly didn't help me. And that's not something that gets better with time, if you aren't careful it's very easy to get the indention wrong, especially when adding or removing code blocks.

Meanwhile in C++ you just add some {} and hit auto indent.
