Counterpoint: if you want tools to help you edit your code, like linters that supply fixes or smarter autocomplete tools, you need algorithmic code formatting. You can't code taste into every tool that might want to help you edit your source code. That being said, almost all formatters have ways to tell them to go away in especially important stretches of code, with the tradeoff being ugly generated code fixups for that need hand massaging every time.
