Seriously, does any team really have discussions about these things?Yes, good teams do, because they know that making time to establish standards and practices saves time later on.
If the team doesn't agree on formatting standards and acceptable layouts, then everyone's going to code their own way and the team members will be wasting time changing formats again and again and struggling to read code, and so they'll be busier than they need to be.
It's the old "I don't have time to sharpen the axe, I have too much wood that needs chopping".
I agree. Doesn't matter what you are coding/scripting in. You should agree on a style guide that you either make as a team or you adopt someone elses.
For example, I couldn't agree on one so I adopted Google's style guide for Python. The end result was something that looked like this for my Python code.
