Both SUN and MS has published coding conventions.

I follow SUN coding concvention for Java and MS coding
convention for C# (unless told otherwise).

So I move the start curly brackets when I convert
code between Java and C#.

There's a lot of point in following *naming* conventions when writing
your own code, as it means it fits in well with the rest of the
framework. Brace position, however, is more of a private matter IMO.
It's good to have consistency within a project, but it makes no
difference otherwise.

It is not particular funny for maintenance programmers if
half the code uses K&R and the other half Allman.

Which I believe is why Jon said "Within a project".

Today's IDEs make it simple enough to make brace style, indenting, etc.
consistent within a file. Unfortunately, the weird disconnect that exists
between IDEs, which know enough about language syntax to make reformatting,
renaming variables, etc a snap, and SCM systems, which know nothing but
lines and bytes in lines [1] means that this sort of reformatting can
introduce many spurious diffs that obfuscate the history of the file.

1. And in many cases, even treat CR vs. CRLF line-termination as a
significant difference.
