Yeah he's dead wrong here. Even clang-format - easily the worst autoformatter I've used - is an order of magnitude more tolerable than no auto-formatting.

Sure it might not always be as good as what a perfectionist human would produce, but it's sure as hell better than what the average human produces, and it means you don't have to waste time ranting like this.

Why is clang-format actually so terrible haha? It's absolutely is, I just don't know why.
