I remember how in a previous job the code formatter cost me time and time again. I already intentionally format my code as it makes sense and with the goal of improving readability. Then the damn auto formatter comes along and destroys this, by splitting a log call over 5 lines, because it has seen, that the log call is longer than 80 characters. Thank you for wasting 5 LoC of screen space for something that is a sidenote basically. That'll surely improve readability. So what do people do? They increase line length to 200 characters, to avoid this shit happening. Only that now it does no longer break long lines that should be broken. Unless I added trailing comma everywhere, wasting more time to make the formatter behave properly.

I am not against auto formatters in general, but they need to be flexible and semantically aware. A log call is not the same as other calls in significance. If the auto formatter is too silly to do that, then I prefer no auto formatter at all and keep my code well formatted myself, which I do anyway while I am writing the code. I do it for my own sake and for anyone who comes along later. My formatting is already pretty much standard.
