Hi,
I think that this discussion is pointless. Style is mostly the matter of preferences, but: 1) We have a huge code base with the certain code style. 2) We have official guidelines. 3) We have a tool for auto code formatting. I don't see any good reasons to change the entire code base or make it inconsistent, and adjust docs and tools. If a person is not used to the Qt style, he or she might use clang formatting tool for this.
