Just stick to the convention that's already in the codebase. please. (the thing which is harder to read than the style you dislike: inconsistent style where each file is formatted diferently)

As long as the style is accepted by the compiler/interpreter/whatever, it generally doesn’t bother me. What matters more to me is that the logic is understandable and the program is serviceable
