I think its fine to code without, but like the steering committees are moving towards, we are not sure where the language will be in 2-20 years. So the issue is, do you want your code to survive intact without modification (bad idea, but a very slim use case) in 10 years? Then you probably want to use semicolons. At the least have an IDE or tool push them in.
I believe their guidance is that they want to reduce clutter and what they call 'syntactic sugar' so they recommend not using them, although I think semi-colons actually increase readability. Especially when it's not your own code and you are reviewing it.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
