The problem with autoformatting is that whitespace is a part of the program. I use whitespace to separate logical entities that cannot be made their own functions in an elegant way. Using autoformatters often breaks this, changing my code to something that looks good but doesn't actually make sense.

The more gentle autoformatters actually do their job correctly, but the more aggressive ones make code harder to read. And BTW, I hate golang with a passion. It's a language designed to get fifty thousand bootcamp grads from developing countries to somehow write coherent code. I just don't identify with that, although I do understand why it needs to exist.
