I literally explained how it helps you write better code because you spend more time writing it and understanding it.

But if being a jerk about it makes you feel better, carry on, you don't need to listen to me, i don't need to listen to you.

I would doubt that, because I use exactly the opposite approach. I deliberately let Formatter take over certain tasks and save myself the time of just doing it. That's what I love about go, gofmt is already there.
