I agree! Especially in the open source world where you have pieces of code coming from myriads of different people, sometimes it can get a little frustrating. Large teams will normally force people to follow their style guides, but as you said some things are just up to preference, such as whether to use switch or if/else statements.

Very good point Sergix. In open source, empathy is a key skill!
