Actually the aesthetic preferences of people I regularly work with are important to me.

I do not have strong aesthetic preference for code (I always disable "minimap" in editors which shows it because I think about code as symbols shown in "outline"). I would probably not notice reasonable code formatting change if you would do it during my holiday. My requirements for formatting are purely technical (ie. do not make unnecessary diffs on code change). But I have worked with a few programmers who think about code visually. They actually remember code structure and formatting more than text and use "minimap" instead of "outline". They also strongly oppose any automatic formatting and linters. It is fascinating how different some people are despite doing the same work.
