So what do you guys use? And has it been a factor in deciding what editor to use? And did you actively decide "I will use X style" ?
I use Whitesmiths style and I have tried many editors but I get frustrated because they all follow K&R style (wich I can't stand personally) so I always come back to gedit wich has everything I need for my perl scripts. Just a little worried because I'll be starting with java soon and netbeans forces K&R style on me :(
Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style if uncertain.
Hope I don't start any holy wars, so plz no "X is the only true style" comments. I choose Whitesmiths style because I see indent levels easier and find K&R harder to read. Or actually I didn't choose I came up with it myself and later found put that it already existed.:cool:
Edit: forgot to ask: Do your employer (if you are a professional programmer) make you use a certain style? and if so wich one?
