When I was new to C, I looked at the different code formatting styles, and I found the GNU style to be ugly and horrible on a visceral level. Then I learned about the GNU project and Emacs and stuff, and I noticed the peculiar sense of my aesthetic sense being recalibrated, so that after a little while I found the GNU style code to be pleasing, symmetrical, and well thought out. That was a really interesting experience because I learned how aesthetic snap judgments can be retrained, and quite quickly.
