I had my own style before, but after I started contributing to Phobos, I found it a pain to keep switching back and forth between styles (and to convert styles before submitting PR's), so eventually I decided to just adopt Phobos style for all my D code, including my personal projects. That way I never have to worry again about which project is in what style, but everything is consistently the same style.
Same here. :-)
It also helps that my previous supervisor at my work also used a similar style, which was different from my own, so I already had to adapt my style to his in the past. That was what convinced me that other inferior styles than my own had any merit at all. ;-)
Two consequences of adapting myself to Phobos style were that I realized (i)how little most of these things really matter, and (ii) pretty much any stylistic choice carries both benefits and drawbacks.
E.g. in this case, "Egyptian"-style braces definitely make your code more compact, but separate-line opening braces definitely make it easier to see where scopes begin and end.
