IMO thats redundant lines + more scrolling to read the code.
whereas:-
if x then begin

if y then begin

the above format hurts my eyes... i cannot see else, for one thing,
and cannot separate out the individual code blocks... it is really
bad when it spans 50 lines or more... especially when it covers
several pages... at that point, you loose the rest of it...
im looking for indents, your looking for begin/ends. i think this is
where 'what your used to' comes in.. we both use what suits us.
when 'code' makes the 'if' big, then i put the 'code's into their own
procedures/functions. keeps things neat & orderly. imho what the 'if' is
doing is seperate from what the 'code' is doing.
(just a note)
In the early days of lazarus I learned not to trust indents.
When you have code committed by different ppl, using tab, 1sp 2sp or 3sp
as indent, you cannot say for sure if an indent is part of the if
statement or a misindeted following statement. Unless you read the whole
if statement first.
This is why I personally really hate the above code.
