These people either work with very large codebases or have enough experience to understand that the average developer is careless enough to risk safety just for a little bit of convenience.
I'm personally keen on using % on vi or clicking on the braces for selecting scope in Eclipse and ACME. I also find them aesthetically appealing much like Lisp parenthesis.
- lucb1e 10y agoIf you have enough blank lines, { or } work as well in vim. At least that's what I use. Thinking about it, I only use % for parenthesis I think.
- ldiracdelta 10y agoI've seen a parallel in braced languages where the code spacing alignment was out of whack with the actual blocks as denoted with bracing and then people thought they were adding code to one block, but it was actually a parent block. People seem to inherently use white space to determine block scope.
