Wow! what a strong statment ! and comming from someone from the computer
science department of New York university where Dewar PhD works (worked?) too!

makes one wonder if someone has a axe to grind against some other person?

as for the issue at hand, nowadays there are plenty of automated tools
to reformat the source code in any shape one prefers. so it is not a 
problem. When you need to work on the code, reformat it as you prefer, work
on it and check it in. The other person can check the code later, reformat it
as they want and work on it.  I've done this myself on C/C++ code working
with other programmers each prefer different way of formating. and we never
had any problem.
