tidy is an antiquated tool. Would you rather use a sundial or an Apple watch? Thanks to the introduction of composer, the package manager for php, and as a direct result of the Framework Interoperability Group are there engineering standards in place today which should be learned by anyone interested in developing for the future.
While it may be acceptable for some developers to develop in the past I am not one of them. So, as the best standards have come forward over the years I adopt them. The PSR standards are the accepted standard by Zend and they write PHP. So, if you want to go behind another banner, Symfony and Fabien Potiencier is a good choice, make it. But if you remain a rouge you won't learn from others. "You're not the smartest person with this problem" is a mantra recited never by the developers I find junior.
