Fine if you work on your own. But if you work in a team, whose style do you use? I much prefer Go's "stop wasting time on things that don't matter and just use this style" approach.

I am going to chime in and second the team argument here. Being stubborn on style tells me a person is going to be inflexible on a myriad of other things as well.

I do not agree. What google did here is to liberate us from style fascists.

Agree! I was surprised to see that in the con column. What possible benefit is there for differing programming styles in a team?

I prefer my bikeshed already painted. It lets me get down to the assembly, and maybe even storing the bikes.
