Allman works best if you like folding code blocks.
Why?
If you use if (blah) { then when you fold your code you still see the { but not the closing } (I suppose some IDEs might be smart enough to do something about this, but when not it looks like your code has an overbite).
And then you've got a mental disorder if you indent your opening and closing brace more than the statement spawning them.
Yeah, I just don't see why IDEs couldn't make them all fold in the same way. It's trivial. I don't see it as a valid complaint.
