This smells of false dichotomy :) Legible code has its advantages and
reformatting large chunks of code has its cost. You just need to find the
right balance for a given project.
For example, you can declare that re-indenting the code just for the sake
of legibility is taboo, but whenever somebody significantly changes a piece
of code, he has the right to clean it up (as a separate patch, preferably).
This leads to more legible code in the long run, while avoiding most of the
cost.
Have a nice fortnight
