This is true of course.

Personally though, I find it not very usable yet though. It would be really 
cool if we could get a proper UI for configuring uncrustify. Otherwise our 
formatting settings dialog simply makes no sense, as the preview will not work 
at all. I bet that people using KDevelop will compare the script formatter 
with the astyle formatter, see that the latter is much easier to configure and 
use that. Most people won't know uncrustify or know that it is much more 
powerful than astyle...

Anyhow, this is not directly related to your work so far. Now that the 
original settings are restored, I'm perfectly fine with the current status. I 
just hope that we continue to improve your work, to make it useable for a 
broader audience. After all I completely agree with you, that we must find a 
good solution to the formatting mess.
