I strongly agree with you. There was some time when I have been spending more time for setting up prettier formatter than actual code. It can be done during development manually.
Web Dev full-stack [LAMP] since 2005, but much heavier on the JS stuff these days.

It comes down to personal preference. I don't think the tools save me any time. Once in a while they catch a bug i missed that costs me a little time, but i don't see "tool using devs" being better/faster than "non tool using devs" in my day to day work.
In the end, good devs are always better/faster than not-as-good devs, regardless of the tools used. So really, personal preference always wins and we end up in lots of pointless arguments.
Did i mention Tabs over Spaces for life! ? :)
