Some people prefer the * with auto because you explicitly know it is a pointer and that you're not accidentally copying an object.
auto obj1 = Fn1();
auto obj2 = obj1; // this might be a copy, can't tell from code
auto *obj3 = Fn2();
auto *obj4 = obj3; // not a copy
This is configurable in Visual Assist, but there is currently no UI for doing it -- you need to use edit the registry.
