How is it petty? It just formats code, instantly, without complaint. That's almost the opposite of petty

It fixates on trivial things. Petty. Pedantic. Again: I don’t think it’s a bad thing. It’s what I asked for.
How does a formatter fixate on anything? It formats. It has to have an opinion on formating.
It very opinionated. I don't know if that makes it petty though.
I’d say it’s the exact opposite, since it prevents petty arguments over formatting and style.
As long as it stays away from my code.
