One thing that isn’t mentioned regarding consistency is that it makes the code more searchable. When you start on a new issue you can easily find where you should do your work. You’ve maybe never seen this part of the code before, but you know how to find it.
This is impossible with a largely inconsistent code base. Anytime you start with a new issue you have to find a needle in the haystack.
