And I find that style to be seriously harming readability (braces should always be on their own line IMHO), but I guess that if you like it, it makes sense.

I understand your point, but don't share it - since tabulation outlines the code structure pretty well, I suppose it's only a matter of personal preference.

The placement of braces is very much a matter of personal preference.

I suspect that any given piece of source code is read far more often by people that didn't write it. So personal code writing preferences can affect the future maintainability of code.

But I find this particular code style easy to read. Though I can't say the other style is harder to read, I can say it is hard for me to write.
