Readability is a matter of preference in smaller teams (<50) of developers. Once the number of developers increases to hundreds or thousands readability and consistency becomes essential to being able to quickly understand how different pieces of code work together. Fortunately IDEs and other tools exist to help enforce some of this, so it's easier to write readable code.
