I really like how a number of languages now have a code formatter built in (Elixir, Go(?)). I might not always like how it formats my code, but most of the time I do. Furthermore, it:

1) spares everyone a whole bunch of bike-shedding and bickering

2) often teaches me how to better format my code

3) speeds up my work slightly because quite often I can just messily write my code and rely on the formatter to fix it.
