why don’t we store code unformatted and have everybody’s IDE display it with their preferred format applied? it would make everything easier and stop people bickering over pointless things.

That’s what tabs are for. 1 tab, to an ide, means “you choose how many spaces this tab is, and when we commit it back to git it won’t fuck the history up.”

I guess they were referring to formatting other than tabs, like place of brackets and line length, which sounds like a neat idea

…until you start using languages where whitespace is the only way to distinguish code blocks. (Most notably Python.)
