> Even if only half of engineers think this is true, the other half should be pragmatic and let the go formatter do it's thing. Why should a group of tolerant people bend to the wishes of a group of intolerant people? That's how I see the whole formatting debate. Why should people comply with a formatting that is demonstrably worse in concrete ways (let's not even start talking about how it makes the need for ugly line-breaks occur much sooner), and to many is harder to read? I don't understand why people feel the need to force their obsessions on other people. If you find it harder to read without a specific formatting, please go and develop some plugin in your fancy editor to display it to you that way. Just deal with it on your end and don't make it my problem.
