I see this as an opportunity for a smart ide dev to solve a problem. 

This argument/divide/preference should not exist. We're talking about tokens 
that are interpreted by a machine - how those tokens are display on screen in 
an editor should never have depended on the damn white space/tabs etc saved in 
the text file. They're literally meaningless and should all be standardised on 
file save.

We could strip all meaningless white space characters on save but we probably 
want to enforce a single standard to aid in unassisted reading of the code in 
non-code aware editors. 

However, If an individual has a preference for formatting style then the code 
editor should transparently transform their display of the code like CSS 
transforms HTML. Then there's no need for this colossal thread - individuals 
can have whatever style they want, the underlying source is the same for 
everyone.
