Agreed.

I have my own preferences about brace placement, as well as the
tabs-vs-spaces controversy.  And I've found that the only thing
worse than using a style other than my own is mixing different
styles within the same project.

I've worked on projects where the coding standards imposed
requirements that I absolutely *hated*, but following the coding
standards and keeping the code consistent is far more important
than following my own personal preferences (even though they're
clearly superior).
