That Go proverb comes to mind: "gofmt's style is nobody's favorite, but gofmt is everybody's favorite." And I don't like gofmt's output, personally, but I immediately saw the benefit to community-wide adoption specifically because of my experiences with Ruby and RoR and every project having it's own specific little (typically also totalitarian, very teapot dictator in my experience) set of StyleCop configurations. Frankly, there's a high level of bikeshedding that can open yourself up to with configurable linters that I'm too old to give a shit about. edit/ I have no horse in this race, either... I use neither of these languages today professionally.
