Its SO pretty now!

[SomeYguy]

About a year ago, I stated using an indenter (Smart Indenter) to help format my code. Before hand, it looked SO messy! . Of course, that didn't affect its functionality and likely nobody except me will ever see most of it but it just makes me feel better to see it so nice!. Easier to maintain too!. I've also used Ulli's code formatter once in awhile.

How about you?. Do you have a favorite code formatter or indenter?. Do you care?

I use a VB6 AddIn that I wrote myself what feels like half a century ago.

I don't need one. I indent the code as I want it to be while I'm typing.

Same for me

I do the indentation a la old school - by myself

I envy you folks who do that . I just get to banging away so fast that it looks kinda messy and then the magic formatter fixes everything .

I envy you if you can write good working code without indenting.
For myself, I need to watch the indenting to be focused and clear in what part I'm writing.

I saw some people that don't indent and they write large code bases. They must be geniuses, or their brains work very different to mine.

All the sources of VBIDEUtils (in my signature) are available and ca do indent and many more

I used to write too, sometimes quite a lot of code, without indentation! But it sometimes became more and more difficult to understand what was written, especially when there was more and more code... Such people are not geniuses, but simply have not learned beauty...

Now I always indent through the Tab key, and the code has become more beautiful, like all normal people, and it is more convenient to read and understand everything myself.

P.S. Automatic margins are not always a good thing. For example, sometimes I don't like how Twin Basic automatically indents where I don't need it, and I have to rewrite it.

Those who write without indentation are usually beginners who do not know and have not yet learned how to write structured code.

Must be an exception here.....I started on a Commodore VIC-20.

They are probably old COBOL programmers

To be clear - I actually do write all of my code with indenting. No way that I could keep track if I didn't. But it isn't always industry-standard spacing and so most of the time isn't as uniform as could be. That is where the formatter comes in.....
