It's a bikeshed. There are arguments for and against both sides - a coder's holy war. The only way to solve it is to say "screw you all, do it this way". Guido did just that.
Consistency is what really matters. I can show you a bunch of code, written in number of editors by a group of people who did not really care about consistency. Hopefully this is only C code, easy to fix with indent.

Right. Clear directives are better than loose. Although, I guess I'll have to deviate from this particular suggestion, for the same reason I won't use 2 space indentations in Ruby.
