You covered some real good points here. I find it really hard to get a consciousness on these things. When a team of 7 uses 7 different editors and are not comfortable with following a single formatter its always a battle.
I'd suggest there that the team leadership (Lead/Architect/Manager etc) needs to adopt a "god complex" approach.
"I have spoken, therefore you will do."
When the team all pull in the same direction, consistency is easy (our discussion about code consistency lasted a grand total of 15mins). When each individual likes to impart their own personality on the code base, you'll never achieve consistency, unfortunately.
