I fully agree :) I started with Turbo Pascal when I was a student in 1990, than coded in assembler, ASP (VBScript), Microsoft Visual C++, Java (J2SE&J2EE) and PHP. Most of these I had in parallel and used different CGL. I prefer the style for braces that you described because it clearly marks blocks. But... reality is reality. We have certain conventions already and convincing people to change even a single thing will cause you more than you are willing to give :) To tell the truth, I do not like nearly 50% of these conventions. The only thing that I like is a requirement to write comments in the code :D I follow the rest because this is what we use already. I am not happy with them at all but I follow them because I cannot change it to something I think is much better.

Life is life :)
