No value in which area ?

I'm joking.... I guess what you meant : you were thinking about code
value, and I agree about this one value.
But there is visual value as well, as long as code is to be read with
eyes.

Someone talked about Emac (which I do not use, I use something else),
but a lot of editors are plain text editors, and further more, in this
particular case, the code is displayed on webpage as plain text, not
in Emac or any other valuable text editor. So an argument saying "it
is unuseful, beceause Emac helps me to not need this", is meaningful
only in a context where Emac is in used. Here, on a web page, it is
not.

By the way, if I'm allowed to be a bit out of subject, I thinking
about adding to my editor, the capacity to export files replacing
headings with similar comments.... in order to be best viewed in a
plain text context.
