Yes, I from the old programming school (back to the sixties) and I like simple efficient and thus a bit minimalistic, code. Not because of the clock cycles (anymore) but because I believe the simplest code most often is the one with the least problems. Regarding plain format: no I like what is possible in Context and am abhorred by the idea to have to find out all that by myself; but so now and then I am self-willed enough to do things "my way".
