I personally doesn't care about long lines if they make stuff more logic
than a hell of linebreaks with indentations.

Longer lines are also better sometimes for merging purpose.

Moreover, most editors shows long lines in a better way as short ones
with indentations. Especially if you resize the window. I do many perl
coding and what I hate most is that limitation to 80 chars. When I use a
windows that is smaller, the code gets unreadable as the linebreaks from
the editor interfere with the artificial linebreaks.

I didn't know that tool. But if there is something that works well, why
not adapt it...

I just want to have some thinking about one or the other style. Some
"common" styles are not really helpful.

Other think I do prefer is the K&R style instead of the unbalanced
braces GNU style.

Maybe we can have a style config like perltidy config.

Yes. That I also swear sometimes about.

Usually I have my vim to use smart tabs what is okish for most cases.
They replace all 8 spaces on the begin of the line with one tab and
handles the rest transparent.

However, it might be better to switch to a expand tab setting. At least
for the line begin.

:-)

In any case. If we agree about a specific style, it should be configured
via vim modeline in all files. Currently we have the following:
   set shiftwidth=8 softtabstop=0 cindent cinoptions={1s:

It is nothing more wrong than a mismatch of that options with the
current used style. (Does someone here use different editor than vim
that does not respect such a setting?)
