Why should this be at the editor level? There should be a linter that applies all these stylistic formatting changes to all files automatically. If the developer's own editing tools or personal workflow have a chance to introduce non-standard styles to the codebase, you have a deeper problem.
Because for every programming language there'll be people using text editors, but you'll never succeed in even creating code formatters for them all.
The greatness in this project is in aiming low and making things better through simple achievable goals.
I want both. When I am typing code in my editor I want it to follow the styles of the project. Then when I run the linter/formatter it will fix the mistakes.
The last thing I want is to start a new
if foo {statement and the indent is half of the indent of the if above. That would be too distracting.
