Seriously, if the code works and you can read who cares how many spaces or tabs it has? Who cares if there are hash rockets? If the compilers don't care, we shouldn't either
I write from time to time.
Views expressed are my own and may not represent the opinions of any entity with which I have been, am now, or will be affiliated.
Before I totally agree, I do have to ask if this would cause a lot of extra white space changes to appear in shared code. That would be my only issue.
Other than that, yeah, I don't care for arguing over personal white space preferences, so long as there's some kind of agreement or compromise within a team.
I have strong opinions on syntax because it helps me manipulate code faster. I like typing Tab to indent but I like it that all my whitespace is space so I can move the cursor inside (something I rarely do, btw). I like semicolons after my line because I've started with C and it's a habit now.
I won't argue about syntax opinions and I'm more than happy to follow the one the team decided. But my own is just so comfortable.

Syntax opinions.

It's not exactly a opinion though - it's a fact that in python no semicolons and brackets means less typing needed :P
I love code formatters. I like writing my js without semicolons, so what? Its all made to look identical as soon as I commit!
As long as the formatter keeps the logic, and is readable. I couldnt care less.
