I can see the benefit of matching style when working with others. I only code for myself and never had to worry about conformity for project consistency.

It is good to learn new things.

I'm sure I have some coding habitats that would annoy others.

Consistent styling helps make the actual meaningful changes easier to spot. Probably also useful for your own commit history when working solo in a repo, but most useful in a team, yeah!
