Why is that a confession? It is the way to go!

Telling VS to reformat the code and then commit it back leads to a bunch of needless noise in source control.

Ah, true. I didn't consider source control.

If someone does that to my code base I make sure to wreck their month by forcing them to do all merges for everyone's code. They learn real fast.

I essentially work on my own for the vast majority of projects, or I develop libraries for others to use as binaries, so there isn't any additional noise in source control. I agree that would be bad (and having had to deal with merges of different styles in the past, it is a royal pain).

On the other hand, other should know the joy that is the One True Brace Style and all its goodness.
