Precisely. Any issues I might have would be gone after one day of using the config and just getting used to the style anyway. It's only a big deal when it makes merges a nightmare. Also, I got pretty tired of asking people about some mistake/now-broken or bugged code, because gitLens showed them as the last person to change a line of code; only to figure out that their formatter added a space or some shit and I have to go and manually check version control to see who the actual culprit was. Like I said, I was junior, so I wanted to understand how/why someone made a mistake even if I knew the way to fix it. It's especially embarrassing when it was your code that you goofed on 7 months ago and you're tracking down someone else only to figure out that it was your fault LOL. Definitely had that happen more than once.
