I'm one of the people who doesn't really feel it's worth trying. My consensus :-) is that you're mistaken. I think that

I agree with Gareth on both of his main points: I didn't buy Guido's rejection of list-after-def (and so argued against his points in another thread here); but the decorator suite before the def (J2) is quite nice also, and it doesn't hide the def when there are lots of decorators (due to the indentation). I would strongly support either proposal over the current @decorators.
