For every old curmudgeon who hates this style, there's probably a young whippersnapper who loves it. No reason we can't have both.

I don't think it's about age, as I remember hating this style when I started getting into programming around 15.

I, too, was an old curmudgeon at 15. It's only been these last few years I've truly grown into it though.

Yes. Different strokes for different folks.

Some people like the comics, some people like the naked horrific rfc docs (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2818) complete with the phony typewriter linebreaks.

Many prefer something in between. Something for everybody.
