The formatter that is available with grunt seems to have very little settings [1], but if that is fine for most of us by all means we should use it!

It's meant as an example you don't need the full eclipse IDE to use the formatting tool. It can be used standalone and it has a ton of options about where to put whitespace. We could also build our own javascript code formatter, but why not have something that works today. And I think even a javascript coder can execute a command line utility.

Just trying to be pragmatic
