About spaces personally I dislike eating extra vertical space for
"clarity", curly braces on it's own line is already way too much.
Think about reading a book without the half lines between paragraphs.
In code it's the same. Some empty lines are good to improve readability
of the code. Curly braces are not always present, sometimes a
paragraphs ends before or after or right on a curly brace.
Braces *are* paragraphs of code, with proper indention it's more then
enough to fell the structure. If I really need to stop in the middle
function, it's to explain something, then a single line of comment
instead of meaningless empty line (which leaves reader clueless as to
why) is good enough. Except that I'm not opposed to spaces at global
scope.
I agree with bearophile; I find code that leaves a blank line between
closely-related lines make the code much more readable. I don't understand
what's with the craving for maximum vertical terseness either, but that
may be because the resolution of my primary monitor is currently 1200x1920
