How do you handle auto-format? If a rules doesn't survive that, its not practical, at least for me.
We don't use auto format for one because as far as I know it's not available for our languages (objective-c and swift)
I've never met an auto-formatter that I haven't hated the output of enough to not use it.
Which ones would that be? The Eclipse one has a million knobs and twiddles, and is bearable in 95% of the time after fiddling with them a lot, which I'm okay with.
I must admit I haven't used Eclipse's auto-formatter because I've never met an IDE that haven't made me want to kill myself, and Eclipse is at the top of the list of IDE's I have never been able to stand more for than 5 minutes.
