I suspect this criticism usually comes from people who don't use Nim because anyone inclined to be bothered by it will not use Nim for that reason.

I agree that "just keep a consistent style" is a good approach for single-person projects. It's harder to keep it working well as you get more people working on the code, though.

Actually Nim's attitude is more suitable for group work because every group can have its own style of coding. A simple transformer could be used to normalize the code. However it would force the developers to qualify all imported conflicting names which is a good idea anyway.

You cannot do this in C++ and Rust. There you actually have to keep a consistent style.
