You don't need to fade it by saying it's personal preference when it's the Correct™️ way. Bring the jihad! Laugh | :laugh:

My rationale is that other coding styles often waste horizontal space but use vertical space miserly. The control statement before the { needs to stand out so that you don't have to squint to read its condition. It also aligns the {} and reduces the number of broken lines, which is another thing I try to avoid (hence 3-space indentation instead of 4 or even 8, whose users should be forced to edit all their spaces manually.)
