if you're not running auto-format on file-save, your auto-formatter is slow

Or you care about your formatting and don't want to throw them away.

i don't know what you think i care about, when i run the auto-formatter on file-save, if not for the formatting of the code

Certainly not the formatting you have done manually, because the auto-formatter will likely throw it away. You likely do that, because you care about the consistency of the formatting, not for the formatting already present in the file.

Personally, I don't like auto-formatters. It's like having someone else cleaning up your room. I have put every byte of whitespace where it belongs, I certainly don't want someone else to mess that up.
