Isn't readability a matter of taste, or were experiments done? IIRC, the arguments for productivity had to do with everyone just accepting one standard - not that one standard was "better" than another, just that there be *one* team standard (in the interest of productivity).
I prefer the "hanging left bracket" because it allows the subsequent lines to have the same tabbing. That makes me faster, without requiring an automatic formatter. -- Yanni Chris Muller wrote: > Well, Kent makes a well-reasoned argument for Rectangular Block, > readability and productivity.
