That's the thing, without a standard formatter, a lot of IDEs use whatever their rules are. You can end up playing tennis because you just want to get that bug or feature done, you modify a couple lines of code in file X, Y, and Z, and now each of those files got reformatted by your IDE.

Instead of agreeing apriori on a standard format for all files forever, it's better to disable formatting in your IDE (except auto-indent which should follow their format). That's what mine does anyway.
