Stefan Larsson:
1. It makes it easier for myself to write code in a consistent
style and I would automatically write in a similar style as
everybody else. It removes one degree of freedom from my mind.
2. It simplifies education of teams where it is desired that
all members write code in the same style/layout. In my opinion
it should not be possible to see which individual wrote the
code.
Having a shared coding style in a newly designed language is
quite important.
This is an introduction to the standard D style:

Regarding tools for that, there are not many at the moment, like:
http://analyzed.no-ip.org/
But probably this tool should be improved in its perceptions of
what good D is.
