The only one of these I've actually found annoying is #2, but I can deal if 
majority think otherwise.  

The two specific aspects of #2 I find annoying are:

a) when modifying fields that are column-aligned, I have a compulsion to 
manually line them up to match surrounding style (yes, I know the formatter 
will do this for you).  I find it slightly more readable in columns but it's 
not always good and I find modifying that code is often harder as there are 
more characters to skip through. 

b) Diffs are much harder to read/understand when they reformat the entire field 
block due to a new field or other change.

I guess it is okay to rehash formatting standards every couple of years, so 
this is what I’m hearing:

 

1) The only thing that has anything close to consensus on is that we should 
disable formatting for block and line comments.

 

2) Field alignment sounds like the people who want it disabled are passionate 
about it, and those that like it the way it is can deal if we change it. Sounds 
like we can give it a try

 

3) It seems like there are votes for each extreme on method/cstr parameters, so 
I’m inclined to leave the current setting alone which is middle ground IMO.
