Unfortunately, with Java this sometimes means you need to refactor the
language itself :-)

I use suns convention. I never have a matching brace problem, if I
did I'd use the facilty provided by any modern IDE to fix the
formating and/or highlight the matching brace.

It's not about brace matching problems as much as it is about making
the code easier to read. If I can automatically spot braces by the
general pattern they imprint on the code, I will be able to read the
code much faster and with much better accuracy than I can if I have to
actually read the individual characters on the screen in order to
locate them.

Now parentheses are another matter!

Hey, don't hold back now, let's all hear about it! :-)
