I have never discussed code formatting and drive-by changes more than in projects with auto formatters.

Gods forbid I talk to people I work with, learn their preferences, and figure out the way we can accommodate each other. Sounds like such a waste of energy. It’s so much better if we all acquiesce to the preferences of some people neither of works with!

We can replace the endless and useless discussion on how to format code with an endless and useless discussion on what linting tool to use.
Another option would be to leave both topics alone and go on with our lives, improving the product, fixing bugs, implementing new features, and generally giving customers a better product and shareholders more value, while respectfully agreeing to disagree on the issues of style.
