Wrong.

On any large project, it's important that there's a single formatting
style used throughout the project. Otherwise, the next time that
someone edits the code using the correct style, you end up with noise in
the diffs which can make it hard to discern the substantive changes from
the formatting corrections.

Also, rigid adherence to a coding convention helps weed out people who
aren't team players at an early stage.
