I agree, sometimes I've needed to switch back and forth between scripts and it is more convenient. But still, I would probably stick with tabs.

Braces on new lines is the devil.

Brace placement is always going to be one of those hotly debated things though

Personally I think masses of whitespace is horrid to look at.

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  player.chat = "This looks horrible";
  if (you.really.think.this.is.nice == true)
  {
    player.chat = "You ought to be shot.";
  }
  else
  {
    player.chat = "Look at that else. Makes me feel sick.";
  }
}

function onCreated()
   {
     player.chat = "I actually saw someone doing this the other day. You know who you are. *slap*";
   }

function onCreated() {
  player.chat = "Ah much clearer.";
  if (you.are.clever == true) {
    player.chat = "Then you probably prefer this";
  } else {
    player.chat = "That is a sexy else.";
  }
} 


You know it makes sense.

Well, it's a matter of personal preference though.. I style my scripts pretty much as you do..

And I think it's different from community to community (talking about scripting discussion on forums, ie a c++ or java forum) and who you were taught by (when self-learning and look at others scripts you would probably style like that)

Anyways, there are so many discussions on this, that I'll just say, its all personal preference

It's personal preference. I really don't care if you like looking at whitespace, when I am in charge of scripting at a server, that is how it's done.

I feel that it makes it look more organized, on the same line looks too cluttered.

All I'm saying is that it should be added so that people who prefer it can have it (and I could allow it on my server).

I'm pretty sure GUI builders in any language are just there to establish some guidelines. You should never blindly accept any generated code, ever.

Personally I always step through all the assembly that gcc generates from my C++ code before letting it assemble it into machine code (and then I go through it again before executing it)
