What elitist drivel.

"well written code" is largely subjective.

Even visual layout can impact performance of the individual programmer.

There should be an IDE or IDE plugin that changes how code is laid out while editing, but not in the actual code. So, it's merely a visual layer, which can be adapted to the preference of the individual. Meanwhile, the actual code is forced into a specific style too.

Constantly changing the layout of codebases is impossible and will cause people to clash. So instead, let the individual control how they see things at the IDE level on their machine.

Stop forcing entire teams into 1 single view and let everyone control their own, without altering the actual source code.

Let everyone see the code and write it as they personally prefer, and let a post-processing tool based on diffs force the changed files into a specific style for the final repository.

The industry should stop taking choice away and let everyone have the code environment they feel comfortable looking at.
