That differs from my opinion on the matter. If two programmers disagree over formatting, I want to learn the needs of each programmer and how those needs inform their formatting preference. Understanding each others needs, and being respectful of each others needs, is a primary component of good teamwork. Those needs aren't exposed when a linter prevents the variance from ever becoming clear.
