Me too. I've never understood it. I just went back through the clang-format documentation and looked at some of the examples for the GNU style and was reminded at how utterly unreadable the resulting code is.

The rationale for this style seems to be to make it appealing to Lisp programmers, which will find it familiar. I also dislike it for C (as much as I appreciate GNU's contribution). As we all know, K&R is the one true style.

  Nah, "utterly unreadable" is the right description.

  I've not written a lot of lisp (I understand it, just never had a need for it personally) so perhaps I'm ignorant, but I don't see how it's at all similar to Lisp. It just looks different for the sake of being different.
