Not only this is a good idea, but how else will one makes sure their
code is formatted in consistant way other than using a standard formating
pattern with the help of a tool?

I beleive the best solution is as shown above.

Eveyone will agree on ONE standard format.

Then before the code is checked in, one enters few commands to format the
code to this common format.

I can't imagine having to format the code by hand all the time. my eyes
does not always measure the amount of space correctly, and it is a waste
of time to having to do this by hand all the time, when with one or two
simple command, the code can be transformed into this common format much
faster.
