Fundamentally, the big problem is, most engineers don't understand opportunity cost. So, whenever a new review tool comes along, we always say: yes! let's do that because only good things can come from it. And, that's simply not true. You always need to evaluate the benefits vs the cost - the cost being your time. Spending all day, replacing quotation marks and other arbitrary coding style won't help much.
You gotta remember, coding quality is not something you increase just for it's own sake. the whole purpose of increasing code quality, is to increase future productivity. Any process or decision you add to your coding process, should reflect positively on those goals.
