It's worth to have an editor that can increase or decrease the indentation of code blocks, otherwise it might get lengthy to "just" add another if-statement around an existing code block :)

Yeah, for sure, an editor which isn't well suited for python most likely is frustrating.

But it also helps to write more modular/portable code. At a certain indentation level it's easier to factor out code parts in functions than to not get confused with indentation.

Interesting! Haven't thought about this, but you are right!
