ALL braces should start on new lines. If you look at handwriting, you'll notice that consistancy is what makes something look 'nice' and readable. And that recommendation is NOT consistant. it's horrific. consistency ! what consistency is there to find between a function definition and a block of code or structure definition ? 8 character tabs are a UNIVERSAL constant, try breaking this, soon enough will your code look crooked. you should probably not use tabs for indentation anyway. Real life editors know the difference between tab size and indentation steps.
