About spaces personally I dislike eating extra vertical space for

Think about reading a book without the half lines between
paragraphs. In code it's the same. Some empty lines are good to
improve readability of the code. Curly braces are not always
present, sometimes a paragraphs ends before or after or right on a
curly brace.
Braces *are* paragraphs of code, with proper indention it's more then
enough to fell the structure. If I really need to stop in the middle
function, it's to explain something, then a single line of comment
instead of meaningless empty line (which leaves reader clueless as to
why) is good enough. Except that I'm not opposed to spaces at global
scope.
I agree with bearophile; I find code that leaves a blank line between
closely-related lines make the code much more readable. I don't
understand what's with the craving for maximum vertical terseness
either, but that may be because the resolution of my primary monitor
is currently 1200x1920 :)
Lucky you, hm... probably turning my monitor on 90 degrees can get me in
this league of abundant vertical space :)
