My current project is my first project in a while which does not use black.

I liked black, though I was never satisfied with the fact that there was no way to normalize quotes to be single quotes: '. Shift keys are hard on your hands, so avoiding " makes a lot of sense to me. But there's the -S option that simply doesn't normalize quotes so it has never been a real issue.

However, this new project has a lot of typer functions with fairly long parameter lists (which correspond to command line arguments so they can't be broken up).

black reformats these into these weird blocks of uneven code that are very hard to read, particularly if you have comments.

Everyone is a fan of black; no one liked the result. :-/

I have a key in my editor to blacken individual files, but we don't have it as part of our CI. Perhaps next project again.
