Well I find dense close-parenthesis clusters unreadable.  At least, 
clusters that are long enough that I have to count them. (which is more 
than about five or six or so).  Yes, I know the aguments about dedicated 
editors that match parentheses for you, but it's still convenient to be 
able to read a printout in an easy chair.

And ... what is it you mean by '{' usage?
