Saving vertical space is not my motivation for preferring 1TBS either -
though it is a convenient side-effect.  I don't often print out my code,
but it's nice to be able to see more of a file's code on the screen at a
time.

I like 1TBS because I find it consistent, easy to see the structure of
the code, and because it minimises the risk of getting out of
synchronisation between the visual and logical blocking.  But I fully
appreciate that familiarity and habit plays a big part in this.
