No matter what the adopted “standard” might be for any particular shop, it is nevertheless true that we are visual creatures whose eyes are strongly tuned to the presence of “order.”   We can fairly easily adapt to any sort of consistent “orderliness” that we encounter ... as long as we ultimately find consistent visual order of some kind (any kind) to be present.   When that happens, we start to be able to notice that “something doesn’t look quite right here” because it is different.   Given the time that we literally spend staring-at code, looking for errors and inconsistencies, visual order and orderliness has a very recognizable bottom-line ($$!) value.
