That is where the problem started.  Imagine a shop with 20 to 30
developers.
Let say 10 of them think that sub-procedure is good and make program
more
readable and the other think that it is cumbersome and confusing.  What
should the shop do?
</snip>

Just one thought...Standards.  If the shop standard is to use
fixed-format, then that is how production code is to be done.  If the
standard changes to use /free, then new code should be written in /free,
etc.  People who don't adhere to standards should be treated
accordingly.  If you have "20 to 30 developers" and don't have
standards, that is certainly a problem unto itself!

If new techniques require training, then we must also remember that it
is not responsible of us to reprimand programmers (or worse) if we
haven't provided appropriate training:  you can't use what you don't
know.
