It’s the verbosity for me. Why does everything need a fully spelled out closing tag?


I see nothing wrong about closing tag. Helps to navigate and understand in my opinion. I have way more problem with developers trying to be super concise and writing constructs that are very hard to parse mentally when looking at.


So that in long nested data you know which tag closes what. {{{{{}}}}}
