Some problems could be fixed by autoformatting, some others could not because they involved a decision. For example: - StyleCop validated variable names beyond just casing, and forced you to decide how to comply. - StyleCop validated the number of arguments in methods, the length of a method and the length of statements. - StyleCop would identify situations when a variable should be created for a expression. Every large mess starts as a smaller mess, and that smaller mess is usually low quality code.
