John,
I tried Ben's style exclusively for about 2 weeks (ran my code thru his
Pretty Printer to change to his style). I found my productivity went down
the tubes because I couldn't find anything (ie, it wasn't what I was used
to so it took longer to find things). After 2 weeks I still wasn't
comfortable with it — I changed back to K&R. One thing I did keep from
Ben's style that has increased readability is the bracing of case
statements. That I like because at the end of a long group of case
statements the bracing comes out "even".
