If you can reach everything you need to in a room, and its not got mold, lice, cockroaches or rats, then any further cleanliness is theoretically pointless. And yet, for some reason, a clear room makes for a clear mind.

So strictly speaking no, it doesn't matter, except that it makes it easier to type quickly and understand when reading, which you'll get the hang of in time in any case. But in our minds a clean aesthetic to the language implies a clean aesthetic to the architecture and methods. That's quite important, especially when a programmer spends more time staring at the text file than the actual resultant program.
