Most people use automatic indentation in Lisp, though. Thing is: Lisp is different, it's more fluid in its shape than a language, where the code only lives in one source file. My own code and data gets reprinted in the development process on many places. I have a source file, I may look at a pretty printed macro expansion, I'll see a code fragment in the debugger, I'll re-flow some code in the Listener. Sometimes I use this IDE, then I use another one, then the code looks slightly different. But it always follows a set of rules.
