The circular reasoning I got after proposing to use a code formatter:

Why are you nitpicking on PRs? Let's use a linter instead
Yes we already have a linter for compliance sake
Oh it's turned off though. I don't like it.
No we can't use it actually, it's a third party one and it's not compliant.
We can't use the first party one. It's not extensive enough.
No we shouldn't extend it with our own custom rules. It's too much maintenance.
I refuse to use any IDE formatting shortcuts or plugins, and will commit my code as I feel. The problem is not how I write my code.
Why are you still discussing this? Didn't you figure out how to use a linter yet?

We're still at square one with this after a year or so
