Now *I* cringe when I hear about 2-3 space idents and 130 column lines.
Anyone ever seen a case where lotsa little functions *wasn't* ideal and *very*
nice? 8 space tabs/80 columns forces you to chop your problem into little bite
sized functions!!! I love it!
Excuse me, but there is not a single shred of validated evidence about
this *either way*.
And Linus has shown himself to be making weak choices on a lot of things
lately. His judgment is far less sound than many folks in open source
who are far less vocal.
So, arguing about this is pretty pointless.
However, if you really want to read a related blog post. Steve Yegge
has some interesting comments:
