Personally I use to use:
if () {
...
}
But I found it utterly horrible to debug. I always missed a bracket, so I
switch to:
if ()
{
...
}
I find that even in multi-thousand line files I can flick my scroll mouse as
fast as I can while still being able to follow brackets using that style.
I just think it's easier to follow and clearer, but I understand why some
people don't like them. I use to hate them...until I started using them :}
