Programming happens in the mind. Whats on the screen is a pale and lifeless polaroid devoid of the moving, complex soul of real code.

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

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.
