Personally I'm a fan of braces everywhere (though I prefer Allman style), but the one area where I've given up is precondition checks at the start of a function. Any style with braces looks like a cluttered mess compared to if (foo) throw ... if (bar) throw ... if (baz) throw ... But I strictly limit that to the beginning of a function, and only `if (x) [throw|return] y;`

> Personally I'm a fan of braces everywhere (though I prefer Allman style) you monster. So much wasted vertical space. We use that at work and I am not at all a fan.

  That's why smart programmers use 2x monitors in portrait mode. Try it once. You'll never go back.
