Hey there,

As I was writing another switch in Eclipse, I once again came across a rather weird (to me, at least) default indentation, which is applied to 'switch' statements:

switch (i) {
case 1:
    ...
case n:
    ...
}

I tend to prefer another way:

switch (i) {
    case 1:
        ...
    case n:
        ...
}

Which way is more readable and eye-pleasing for you? I'm still not hundred percent determined what's best for me, so I'd like to stick to what's best for other people who would read my code.

BTW, you're free to close this question if this is too subjective. :)
