Why cant everyone adapt to the coding guidelines?

Hey!

Just a quick reflection:

I'm looking through the forum on a daily (well, sometimes several times a day) basis.
This forum houses some great user-contributed resources like librarys, plugins and addons.
Alot of the content is very good and usable but the coding standards used varies alot.

This does not (always) compromise the functions ofcourse but to me it's rather troublesome to go through a couple of hundred lines of code and change "invalid" class-names, method-names and variables before using it in my own projects.

Codeigniter has great coding guidelines in the userguide and I think everyone should use them for creating distributed content for the framework.

For instance, I see this alot:

Code:

$this->my_library->getStuff();

When it should look like (according to the coding guidelines):

Code:

$this->my_library->get_stuff();

Ofcourse, everyone has their own preferences regarding coding guidelines and I don't wanna be picky about it... (which I just realized I am)
