I certainly support any drive for code that is cleaner or more consistent, I just feel like for every good "code snob" there are a lot of "code snobs" that are basically just bikeshedding.

By that I mean that they don't know how to fix poorly structured code, suggest a better algorithm, or improve the interface... but they still want to feel and look useful, so they instead burn a lot of time finding relatively trivial things to change.
