I'm with the rest of the people that hold this as really important to them. It makes it easier to read. I understand that we are not all going to come to an agreement on 100% of the formatting, but that's what teams do, they come to a compromise and they all buy in and comply for the sake of the team. I think a solution like FlexFormatter is great, and we should look to try and find solutions like it for other IDEs like IntelliJ and require that the settings files we come up with are used. Most of these tools allow you to automatically format code as you save, I've used FlexFormatter like that for a long time with our teams and it is great. It'll go a long way toward reading comfort.
