I suppose a linter or style-guidelines-and-not-making-mistakes invalidate this issue. For anyone that has used Nim, has this been a problem in practice?
The idea is to make it easier for projects using different conventions to be built on top of each other without making things harder to read - and in practice it actually works really well at that.
On the upside, people freaking out over the style insensitivity makes for a nice change from people freaking out over nim caring about whitespace, so at least we get some variety in our aesthetic worrying from people who've not had time to try the language yet :D
Inconsistent naming is visible in diffs in any language, style flexibility or not :)

There is a built-in tool `nimgrep`, but honestly I never even need for that - `rg` worked perfectly fine each time I had to do something like that.
Style insensitivity has never caused a single problem for me. Honestly, this is the most unimportant language feature, I don't get why it causes such fuss every time Nim is mentioned.
