Why the strange indentation on switch statements?

Question

Why is the imho missing indentation of the \"case\" - keywords in a switch statement considered good style?

No indentation of the \"case\" keyword seems to be the defaul

Answer 1

There are different indentation styles to choose from. AFAIK, none is considered better style than the others as long as you consistently use an indentation style at all. For me, indenting case labels is more readable, same goes for private, protected and public labels in classes, however, my IDE won't do the indentation my way. My code isn't as readable as I'd like it to be this way. Oh well...
