Getting feedback on writing style early is a great plus to the
author. That way he can incorporate it in future additions and
practice it, practice catching it.
As for the discussion at hand, I prefer to remove 'you' most of
the time. It started with just because I was told to in class,
but continues because I've seen what it does to my writing, and I
prefer it. But I'm still not perfect with it.
Also, yay articles/books on D!
