Yeah, lets start replying posts without using our brains first.

Is not the number of lines, is more to fit a function, logical block, atom, piece-of-code-that-does-one-delimited-action, whatever you call it, in one page/screen.

When I started programming I used your "Nice" style, because it used to make my life easier when I was reading some code. But when I acquired some experience with programming, identifying block starts and block ends became so natural that the lone opening bracket lost its meaning for me. If you guys think ANSI styling is better, then use it, I'm only justifying why I prefer to use K&R styling.

This post is one of the best formulated answers I've ever seen on styling guidelines.

You just repeated yourself. I most definitely agree with Bugsy. If I need the code to fit on one screen I make my screen bigger .

You miss the point that you are on a public forum where 98% users are not pro-coder like you. It would be more appropriate to keep 'here' a style which 'enhance the clarity' so the users can read more easily the code, especially for the beginner.

Also, to make logical blocks fit better in the page I recommend:

PHP Code:

if(something){    stuff();    things();    moreStuff();    } 


Because the resolution of the screen has proportions close to those of a square so it's better to use the full width.

Joaquim, is that a joke?

People still don't understand what I mean. The space I save using K&R indentation is filled with COMMENTS. No matter how good your code is indented, no matter how many lines you put between the logical blocks, if your code isn't commented, it's fucking harder to understand it.

And what that has to do with using an opening bracket in one extra line?

What i'm more compelled to believe is that you think that just because K&R are experts in programming, their style must be the best.
