How often have you been working on a project and had the nuances of someone else’s style complicate your workflow? Too often if I ask myself. This is why my teams now are almost all universally using phpStorm, and why I absolutely love code styles.
Generally speaking, PSR-2 is a great standard and if it weren’t for a half-dozen or so things I disagree with I would definitely support it. However, I cannot get on board with supporting the standard for conditionals, try/catch, and other minutiae. Fundamentally I agree with 80% or more of the standard and fully support it’s usage and implementation globally 100% but in my teams we use a slightly modified version that improves readability slightly and spacing of code quite a bit.
