Indentation allows one to quickly understand the overall structure of 
the code without the need to read the details of individual lines.  You 
get an understanding of the big picture without confusing yourself with 
the details.  I've been writing applications for thirty years and have 
become very conscientious with regards to consistent indentation along 
with other style elements and insist that those who work under my 
supervision conform to the same style.  In the long run, particularly 
when you must review or modify someone else's code, it saves time.
