It's like a throwback to the days of Cobol and Fortran, except, as you
pointed out, it doesn't require column placement.
When I script in Perl I always add my changes all the way to the
left so they're easy to find, remove, etc. if things bomb. Once
testing is complete, I properly indent and comment the code. Python
broke my entire programming model, so now I'm pretty much against
it.
I'll shut up now... :)
