No holy wars please - (ultimately a standardised and consistently-observed house-style on a project always wins out whatever is chosen), but I am genuinely interested in the preferences of people for K&R style formatting:

public bool CompareObjects(object first, object second) {
    if (first == second) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

over BSD style:

public bool CompareObjects(object first, object second)
{
    if (first == second)
    {
        return true;
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
}

K&R seems to be making a bit of a comeback recently (I'm an old programmer, so I've seen these things fluctuate); do people think K&R looks more professional, more cool, more readable, is compactness when viewing more important than extending the structure down the screen?

My God! This question is nearly 2 years old and people are still down-voting it; ENOUGH!
