Most people here seem to agree that he who writes the code gets to
impose his style preferences.  But evil (change that horrible name,
son) is trying to make a point that is consistently being ignored:

What about _files_ that do not have a consistent style?

It's one thing to have a consistent style for the project or a
consistent style for every file.

I became noticeably faster at editing the HTML docs after I had
completely and nicely reformatted them in one run.  No more
reformatting has happened since that day.

Another point evil tries to make is code readability for beginners or
people new to MPlayer.  I think he has a point there that is a blind
spot for most of us, since we are so familiar with the code.
