this is only true if you don’t indent properly
I literally don't understand. I've read your comment several times and I don't know what you're talking about. Sorry!
Did you think I was saying that made Allman better than the best way? Because it's easy to scan vertically the best way, too. It's just also easy with Allman, so it's not offensive.
I don't think they were disagreeing with you, I think they were just trying to say:
You shouldn't need braces to be vertically aligned if your code is uniformly indented. Then you can easily see what code is paired together just by their indentation level.
Of course this is not always true if you've got a bunch of crazy nested indentation pushing things off to the right.
