Sim, I'm not going to battle on this, but I would invite you to consider the comparison to CXF. It's very large, and we've never had anyone drive off in a huffman code because they hated the standardized format. It's not 'heavenly', it's the fact that you always know what you are looking at because the code base is uniform.
If I go to fix something, I never have to worry about meticulously maintaining some strange code format that someone, once upon a time, checked in. If I need to change the block structure, I can always tell Eclipse to reformat, and know that it won't result in radical changes or annoyed fellow contributors. However, far be it from me to tell all of you what to do. --benson On Sun, Dec 12, 2010 at 3:31 PM, Sim IJskes - QCG <s...@qcg.nl> wrote: > Just in general, some programmers have to battle with all kinds of neurosis. > Sometimes this involves an unmitigateable urge to reformat everything to 1 > single heavenly standard. > > You can't do this with a large codebase.
