You might still be misunderstanding. The code styling can’t be good or bad, or ugly, because there is no codestyling. Realizing that more in-depth explanation is probably needed here for anyone that wishes to child theme, we’ve gone ahead and written up:

Update – Mind you that you’re fully welcome to agree or disagree with our method even after fully understanding, there is nothing further to discuss on this issue as we have no intention of changing this and this topic is no longer constructive. Topic closed. The initial issue you reported has been fixed (won’t see it until 1.1.4) you’ll be happy to hear and we’ll be carefully going over the theme code again to fix definite issues like this.
Thanks
