<i>The more lines that are visible on your screen, the less you have to keep in your working memory.</i><p>Sure if you only saw a few lines at a time, then this might be a problem. But you can see 51 on a laptop. This is enough for almost all cases. And you can scroll if you need to look up something. If you stumble upon a case of multiple if statement that span several screens then no style is going to help you see it in full. In that rare case you might see a little more, at the expense of all code ever becoming less readable (if we assume Allman is more readable for the sake of this argument of course).<p>If for some reason your code has more than, let&#x27;s say &gt;50% cases where something spans multiple screens and needs to be seen as a whole (code which should be refactored, but let&#x27;s ignore that), then you might have an argument to use your style, in all other cases you&#x27;re doing premature optimization of your coding style, so to speak.
