This is my preferred style as well. I'm meeting more and more people who
prefer this style, so I think it's gaining popularity. I have seen this
though:
if(foo)
{ doSomething();
}
which is heretical. ;)

I agree. Doesn't float my_boat; BTW, this is how you're supposed to code in
the Linux kernel. The rationale is that it's still readable but conserves
virtual console rows, which at a standard 25, is at a premium. But for
someone working on an xterm, it makes no sense to conserve the number of
lines you're using to display code.
