Don't know quite why, but I wound up quite liking the rule that Linus Torvalds suggested, which I think comes from K&R -- separate-line { for the opening of a
function, same-line { for if(), while() statements and so on.

Here's a breakdown of some of the more popular formatting styles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style. I think D tends towards Allman style (which I think the astyle formatter calls BSD style). My code is formatted a bit differently in terms of spacing around parens but I'd be happy to have it changed--I use Allman style these days too.

Actual style mostly don't matter. Consistency matter.

Yep. But it's easier to get consistency if everything follows the same style. Commits to my code by other people, for example, typically follow Allman style despite it not being the way existing code is formatted in the module.
