Used to, but now that I realise what the real hell is, i.e. collaboration with others who might (and will) have different ideas about how code should be formatted, I'd rather leave that job to an autoformatter, too much mental overhead for little gain when there's a tool that can enforce a single style across the whole codebase with a simple command, or better yet, a git hook. If anyone complains I can point to the tool and say "sorry, take it up with it, not me"
