+1 - the significant white space is one of several reasons I've never  
managed to get comfy with python.

Personally I like 'end' because it makes it explicitly clear that the  
programmer's intent was to end a block at that point, and I've wasted  
enough of my life tracking down nesting errors not to want to give up  
that extra bit of insight. If other people feel differently, well it's  
there code and they're free to do as they please with it so long as  
I'm not expected to maintain it.
