> Haven’t you ever gotten a big PR from someone because their editor settings were different and they auto formatted a file differently than it was written before? This makes PRs a nightmare to differentiate between style and substantive changes.

I immediately reject those PRs. If your editor can’t format only changed lines you need a better editor. If you’re working on a task, changed lines should only be for what is necessary to implement it - nothing else.
