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.

Ah I think I found it. I need to go:

{
    "format_on_save": "off"
}

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.
