In the Perl world auto-formatting syntax is old hat, though of course (it being Perl) the formatter is highly configurable[0]. So in practice you get consistency within an organization, but perhaps not over time.
Coming from that background I was initially put off by the lack of options with gofmt, but once I realized the whole world of go coders would be using the same formatting I immediately fell in love with it.
So at best it's going to be costly, morally draining and repeated regularly, especially if you change team or in open source. At worst, which is the case for perl, it will not be used by most devs.
