Well put, however I find code formatting itself has a shape, texture and smell. How the programmer weaves the patterns of formatting tells a lot about his mind and style.

Agreed; or their mind and style style.
Auto formatting is often too rigid for me and gets in the way of context driving the style.

That feels like that scene in Amadeus, when Mozart dictates his music to Salieri.
