Isn't readability a matter of taste, or were experiments done? IIRC, the arguments for productivity had to do with everyone just accepting one standard - not that one standard was "better" than another, just that there be *one* team standard (in the interest of productivity). I prefer the "hanging left bracket" because it allows the subsequent lines to have the same tabbing. That makes me faster, without requiring an automatic formatter. -- Yanni Chris Muller wrote:
Well, Kent makes a well-reasoned argument for Rectangular Block, readability and productivity. "I don't like it" is just a statement of someone's personal taste, a non-starter in terms of a useful discussion about formatting.
My goal is to make the system more productive and, by my experience, that's what these formatting patterns accomplish.

I don't like Beck's rule "3. Rectangular Block" vs. So for me personally, Beck's rule 3 is the one that looks better. And there we have them: discussions on what looks better :)
