Yup.
Can anybody give me a reasonable justification for case sensitivity? IMHO you'd have to be an idiot to use variables labelled myvar and Myvar... so why not disallow key words as anything but key words and let the Editor manage Case?
As for curly braces and semicolons- why on earth are we fiddling with such cryptic symbology in 2002?
IMHO we have a duty to make our code *more* legible and to avoid escalation of code-cutting to a complex guild. IMHO this sort of arcane syntax is a step in the wrong direction compared to Basic's or VFP's near-english clauses.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
