GitHub Super Linter: one linter to rule them all

I feel like this is a team preference problem and not a formatter problem. The formatter will only do what you tell it, spaces or tabs.

Looking at this another way, formatters are designed to "frustrate" devs into working only 1 way. If you think it's more helpful to have a codebase with mixed spaces/tabs with commits that express each developer's unique flair, then a formatter is not for your team.

Formatters are a way for one person who likes the formatters output to enforce their will on other who might not necessarily like that.
