> All too frequently bugs are coupled to such style violations

That's a really good point actually. Style violations can make the code look like it does something that it doesn't, `if (a=b)`, missing curly brackets in C/C++, missing semicolons in Javascript, mismatched brackets, etc. An autoformatter can make it more obvious when you've done something wrong.
