When you use ; and possibly {, }, code statements / blocks are specified redundantly (indentation + separators), which can cause inconsistent interpretation of code by compiler / readers.

I find it much, much easier to look at code and parse blocks via indentation, than the many ways and exceptions of writing ; and {, }, while an extra or missing ';' or {} easily remains unspotted and leads to silly CVEs.
