What I'm most concerned about at the moment are applications where
people type fragments of Python code into dialogs that are implemented
with stupid text-entry "widgets". With the optional "end" delimiters
the user can be somewhat sloppy about indentation. Without it, he or
she is forced to do a lot of reindenting, possibly without even the
minimal sort of reformatting support that "vi" provides. I don't think
that will be very popular.
I'm not just making this example up to be perverse. I really do have
some tools I'd like to create where I want the user to enter Python
bits into a Motif widget.
