I don't know... Perhaps... just... because :)

as I know Zoltan uses vim (and as I remember he uses 80x25
terminal - but he will fix me :)), but it's just one example.

The format was created by Thomas, and before that there was
some discussion about that:

Btw: you can use your own astylerc, but don't forget to reformat
the modified files before you commit them. Perhaps you should
take a look to git hooks (man 5 githooks).
