Then I have a strong disagreement on this:

1. clang-format totally changed the way I deal with formatting, and having rules that can be taught to an automatic tool removes any subjectivity and discussion about the formatting.
2. What makes the code "clear" and "readable" beyond the various tastes of contributors, *is* consistency across the codebase. Less brain power used to adapt to different styles is a non-negligible productivity gain to me.
