A project can't be completely oblivious to preferences. You'll never find something that everyone agrees on. Eventually you have to pick something that's acceptable to the majority of the people working on the project and move on. Of course in the case of projects a developer is working on solo, they're free to do whatever they want ;) When I'm working with others, I still express my own preferences, but I'm willing to go along with whatever the group consensus is because I'd rather be consistent above anything else.
