Too long to read :)

just question will it reformat VisualBasic notes correctly ?

I guess you missunderstand our formating rules.
tabs can be ONLY on line begining all other formatings have to be done
by spaces.
If you change tab size all formating is still working (ok 99% sometimes
sombody tries to format line end comment where indentation depth changes)

It is neccessary at least from my expierence - Nobody will ever hit fix
until they detect error, most people don't care about those error to
look for it, however if some button/status/whatever tell them there is
such error they can be teach to do so.
