> Where I work the formatter is the final arbiter of formatting code.

And I'm fine with that.

Consistency is key for readability, code is read more than written, legacy code is code that people can't read anymore and want to start again, and most of the changes people want to make aren't standard making it harder for new team members to read the code.

Install Black, Prettier, Spotless, and move on.
