I much prefer to line the brackets up on the same side, it makes the
code a lot easier to read. Even in the days of screens with 25 lines of
80 characters - now with considerably larger monitors, it makes even
more sense.

So I very much prefer the style:

if (q)
{
do something
}

When I had poor eyesight it was easier, and after multiple eye
operations & my eyesight is much improved - I still prefer the style
with the brackets on separate lines.

If I want to understand someone else's code sample; I refactor a copy of
their code into this style, as it greatly increases the ease of reading
it. The other style looks cluttered, and is harder to see the blocks of
code clearly

Cheers,
Gavin
