    yeah, but it's paradox if coding style guides talk about CPL but leave line space to the individual editor setting.

    It's a combination of both which counts.

      I agree the combination is the final answer but there is never a case where 10/10 is reasonable; well, unless you're dealing with a typeface with an unusual M-square like some decorative faces have.

      Update: and with a face like that 10/10 would be illegibly tiny anyway so more like 24/24.
