Understanding code is challenging enough. Dealing with crap annoyances (also known as "individual styles") makes it that much more challenging. I've talked with enough engineers who feel the same way to know I'm not alone. If you are able to grok code at a higher level, that is awesome. Recognize that the majority of engineers aren't in that bucket and that style does matter. If it didn't, why would anybody have coding guidelines?
