Personally, I HATE the if...endif/while...do/etc. structures.  None of
the text editors/IDEs that I've used gracefully match those structures.
 They'll happily show/highlight matching ()'s and {}'s, but the long
forms confuse the heck out of 'em and make me have to manually hunt down
matching pairs.  I like for the IDEs to do the heavy lifting so that I
don't have to.

YMMV, of course.
