Standards are important and we should follow them, but not blindly. To me, this question is about that syntax styling should be all about readability.

this.someMethod(toString(value),max(value1,value2),myStream(fileName));

this.someMethod( toString( value ), max( value1, value2 ), myStream( fileName ) );

The second line is clearly more readable to me.

In the end, it may come down to personal preference, but I would ask those who prefer the 1st line if they really make their choice because "they are used it" or because they truly believe it's more readable.

If it's something you are used to, then a short time investment into a minor discomfort for a long term benefit might be worth the switch.
