Is a coding standard even needed anymore?

I know that it's been proven that a coding standard helps enormously. However, there are many different tools and IDEs that will format to whatever standard the programmer prefers. So long as the code's neat/commented (and not a spaghetti mess), I don't see the need for a coding standard.

Are there any arguments for the development of a coding standard (we don't have one, but I was looking into creating one)?
