I like the GNU style. I dislike any style which has a strange
brace-Style:
bla
{
...;
}
is ok.
bla {
...;
}
is bad as it makes code horrible to read. The style in the geeqie coding
style is acceptable. :-)
I do not like if somethink is overspecified. But that is not the reason
for liking the GNU style.

Comeon. Which terminal is just 80 chars wide? The most are 130 or more
and it normally doesn't matter at all.

I'd like to be the traditionalist and I like to bann bad editors. ;-)
But there is another point I want to show. All coding styles are nice
but changing the coding style of existing source is bad as it breaks all
revision controll tracking. So as much as I whould see a consistent
coding style I dislike to change major parts of existing code.
