I omit brackets wherever possible and don't mind commas. Opposed to brackets, commas are typeable (on a German keyboard) without pressing shift keys. And it's also more conveniently positioned. And there's just one comma but two types of brackets (opening / closing), which is also more annoying.

I agree that this is a nice shortcut. I just don't use it nearly as much as I
use commas. In in this (contrived) function there are 13 commas.
function test(a, b, c)
print "note"
for i,v in ipairs(a) do
b = {1, 2, 3, "boom", {4,5,6}, }
end
return a, b, 15, "ok"
end
My average Lua file has over 200 commas, but I only see a handful of
opportunities to use the create_box { width = 2, height = 3 } syntax. I'm
trying to optimize by far my largest use case.
