This thread is deteriorating into non-technical matters. The color you prefer for your socks is the same as the preference for tabs/spaces/indenting. There is some value in some indenting, but good things can be carried too far, especially by those with "authority". There should be guidelines, not laws. What happens when the original programmer leaves. Now his personal preferences stay in effect? That's nuts. Thankfully I don't enforce my "style" on anybody.
