I'm fine for code snobs. I just despise swimming against the tide in tooling and formatting. If you care enough that the code look a certain way, make sure this way is a few keystrokes away for any developer using standard tools.

Then there are those that insist on highly flexible and overly engineered solutions. Yes, they got it to work. No, they aren't doing any favors to anyone that was wanting to pick up the code and make changes. (Been there, done that. On both ends.)

Basically, if you encounter a large amount of friction for every new contributor to your codebase. Consider that the source of that friction is not necessarily the "low quality" of the contributors.
