I love this one. This becomes a religious issue for some people.
Both styles are popular, you should feel comfortable reading either
one. Write in the one you like best.
Btw, how many people realize this convention comes from the early K&R
C book, and the *only* reason they wrote it this way was to minimize
the number of lines of text their examples would take up on each
page? It's a type-setting design decision, and has nothing to do with
how "pure" a programmer you are.
On the tabbing issue, XCode seems to format each line *after* you hit
return. It usually fixes the line and does the right thing. So type
your {, hit return, type your next line, hit return, and see if that
then indents the previous line for you.

Also since I am using this style, XCode doesn't tab in for me when
I type {
then a return. This is the style I "taught" and I would like to
continue the
good habits
during the summer.
Is this a Cocoa style? I've seen it on this mailing list and in the
Hillegeass book.
