      It was more than just tab conversion. For example, it decided on its own that:

      if(...) {
          ...
      }
      else {
          ...
      }
      

      would look better like:

      if(...) {
          ...
      } else {
          ...
      }
      

      I mean I guess I could live with that, but really? I imagine there’s some config where you can disable all this, but it just doesn’t seem worth some giant git commit every time I touch a file with the editor.

        My guess is that it has that default because they use Rust. Everyone uses rustfmt so everything looks the same and if you always format before a commit you never get massive diffs.

        Most rust projects I’ve seen even have a ci job to check the formatting with rustfmt.
