It's true, the former indentation style can be really annoying if it forces you 
to indent by too much, especially if it clashes with a code style that prefers 
line lengths of less than a certain number of characters.

I still prefer it to your alternative way of doing things -- I find that creates 
confusion between the opening and closing parentheses of functions and opening 
and closing braces of scopes, but that's partly a matter of taste and 
familiarity, and it clearly does have benefits.
