I've been following this practice for a while, but never really thought much of mentioning it until I watched an interesting talk the other day:

In it, they mention an autoformatter as one of the best tools they gave their developers in terms of productivity gain and it really got me thinking about how this should be versus how it is in practice. There are some really bad autoformatters and some really good ones - find one that works and is configurable to match your standard and I think it really does result in a good productivity improvement.
