I agree with the former.  As to the latter, well, standards differ.
Some projects, like gcc, are very particular and won't let you check
in code with even very minor formatting problems (e.g., an extra
space).

Lately I've been thinking that it would be useful if Eclipse supported
per-project editor settings, so that a project with strict standards
could provide a file in the repository which would control things like
indentation.  (I do this in Emacs, but my configuration isn't shareable...)

I don't know which list to suggest this on :-(
