Actually the IDE's I use give you full control over how its formatted. Also if you notice something still happening that you don't like in your configuration, I am sure you can goto the .xml or .conf or.cfg file that it uses and remove it manually.

Plus it helps when you are on a large team and multiple people have touched a single source file, this way you can have it "your way" with a click, rather than an hour of bashing the dev beside you :P
