So, if you used to use a more compact style, I assume you were used to it and you could parse it quickly. Why did you switch?
I thought it looked better aesthetically, and I learned how to use my editor more effectively (vim). I used to keep as much code on a screen as possible, so I could refer back without scrolling (I'll call it "optimized for vertical compression"). Then I learned how to use vim. Between vim's m, ctrl+p, %, *, #, n, and N, I can move around in code without regard to white space or vertical compression. Also, I've fond ctags and cscope useful when working with others' code, but I rarely use them on my own. That's been my experience. I let the editor do the grunt work, and I lay out the code however I think it looks best, even if that means sacrificing a few rows of terminal space.
