Syntax is a funny thing. It seems that some developers (perhaps most) care about it (disclaimer: myself included) but there's a large number I've encountered who do not. It seems to be a subjective preferential thing, because most rational discussions I've attempted to have about it result in circling around a drain and coming to no conclusion. I'd say that they're simply blind to it (similar to how a colorblind person can't tell when their clothing color choices just "look wrong"), but they could (perhaps justifiably) argue that they're simply agnostic to it. It's just an aspect of a language that they don't care about and which doesn't influence whether they wish to work with the language or not.
