Code cleaning is a good idea in general, but when applied everywhere without consideration it can lead to some odd code in some places. The screenshots show this throwing errors when it encounters 'malformed' code.

I would much rather it showed warnings, so that I can choose to ignore them if I think an exception to the rule is better in a specific case. Perhaps it would be nice if the tool even respected some sort of pragma mark, or other preprocessor statement so that it can be disabled or partially restricted for specific parts of the code.



I took their survey and they ask whether you would prefer errors or warnings for unclean code.
