I was very apprehensive about prettier at first, but I pulled it into a side project of mine and I am never looking back. I absolutely loathe people’s obsession over formatting code. Just let a formatter do it, don’t fuck with the defaults, and work on your business logic instead of bike shedding on perfectly placed spaces.
Totally agree, but you need an iron-fisted formatter to make that work. Because otherwise you get an ever-changing quilt of every dev's style du jour, and while I don't think the specific formatting you use matters, I think sloppiness and inconsistency are actually harmful.
