Thanks for those clear words.
I think it's kinda hard for developers who have been writing a certain 
style of codefor a frickin long time to adapt to some parts of the new CGL.
A good thing would be if someone could point out *why* certain changes 
were applied.
This way other folks could see "ok, this n that changed for these reasons".

The new whitespace-after-everything style makes me wanna throw up, I 
still would like to know why this was added.
The only reason I can see so far is that if you use an IDE without 
syntax highlighting makes te code... different... not easier to read.

If someone could point me to why this has been changed I could try to 
understand what's going on.

I do think that
$content=$bla
if worse than
$content = $bla
but
$hello = 'This is ' . $name . ' Name' sucks to read from my point of view.

Anyways... I just wanted to say that I understand both sides of the 
story and think it might help if the reasons for changed were put 
together (as soon as those who dislike parts of te CGL ask for it - no 
need to comment on everything :))

cheers
