I really really hate too many extra new lines. The occasional new line scattered throughout a file breaks up logical chunks well. Putting everything on its own damn line drives me batty.
So batty, in fact, I am starting to think I hate 80 character line because they force new lines. Don't get me wrong: if there's a multi-arg boolean test I'll put each on its own line. But except for breaking on different boolean operators, I just don't do it.

I think four years ago I posted the same question, I try to keep things under 120 characters per line.Dwindlehop wrote:I really really hate too many extra new lines.
