It seems to me that the layout conventions work pretty well. I do not see much code where it is not used, so generally people must like it.
Please forgive me for taking this as an opportunity to rant about the single misfeature of Haskell's layout syntax, which is how if/then/else must be layed out. The problem is that the 'else' must be indented further than the 'if', so that this: if cond then on_true else on_false usually gives me a syntax error. Other than this, I like layout so much that I have never actually used the explicit {;}-notation. Ben
