It's one of those weird Emacs things that you get _so_ used to that everything else seems to waste your time.
Using code formatters and formatting on save or with a shortcut is OK, but not really the same to me.
That's probably why I'm stuck with Emacs:
1. No need to use the mouse.
2. Extremely efficient keyboard usage (maybe not the most efficient, but compared with common IDEs, certainly).
Makes it feel like I'm actually using a brain computer interface. The somewhat regular yak shaving is a bit of a bummer though. I like that I can modify everything to be exactly how I like it, but I wouldn't mind sensible defaults. Haven't found a distribution yet that works well without tinkering.
Exactly, and sometimes I don't want to save a file just for indentation to happen as a side-effect, especially if I can do `C-x H TAB` to correctly re-indent the entire thing.
That's particularly more helpful when some formatters will actually rewrite your code to either break lines up or squish things back into a one-liner.
