Format on save is a godsend. Copy paste something with whole indentation? Ctrl-s, it’s back to normal.
Did some wacky nested anonymous function calls? Ctrl-s, and they’re laid out nicely.
I honestly almost golf my code nowadays and just let the tooling fix formatting for me. The space bar and enter key are in an ideal world vestigial for the purposes of programming.

I’ll always say that the best code editor is the one that makes you put your idea onto a file the fastest.
So yeah, you shouldn’t worry about style and code lint. You should worry if your code is sound and works. Keep your mind on the logic, not the extras
