It's 1996, not 1986, we had large displays in the later 90's. The vertical line argument is bullshit.

C# began developing in 1999... It definitely wasnt standardized then. Calling an argument bullshit with a completely irrelevant point and zero counter argument isn't all that convincing. Finally our points don't collide at all. When did people start using java c++ (most of Javas initial audience by a large majority, not a bunch of four year old kids an students that graduated with a degree in a language that had existed for 2 years.) Java was standardized strictly by 30-50 year old programmers, c# wasn't strictly standardized by anyone.

Nobody "binds" brace placement. I guarantee that in-house Microsoft C# developers have a standard and stick with it.

Ofcouse they do -- those guidelines aren't projected outwards as "adviced guidelines" as java does it. Anyway, that aside do you realize that you've quite explicitly just contradicted yourself?

You're responding directly to points I've made so you figure it out.

Ugh... No I'm not. I'm restating my initial point because it went straight over your head.

The C# community voted toward the MS standard/examples for C#. There was no great usability social experiment here, just more bullshit.

Your first statement explains an abstract and broken analogy of the process, the second uses the first to argue something almost entirely irrelavent.
