Sounds similar to my personal history of adopting StandardJS (https://github.com/standard/standard) as soon as it appeared, doing the same at the org I was at the time. Based on memory, seems StandardJS appeared before Prettier in the ecosystem?

It seems weird that StandardJS wasn't mentioned in this article, as surely the author must have known about it before starting Prettier.

Still to this day I just use StandardJS when starting a new project, not even sure what the difference against Prettier is, it's more or less the same as far as I can tell but maybe faster?

Standard always struck me as kind of scummy - it tries to present itself as something bigger than what it really is, which is a tiny CLI wrapper around one guy’s ESLint config. You have to scroll way down the FAQ section before ESLint even gets mentioned. The author is just squatting on the “standard” namespace and using it to blag his way into relevance. Think how much more good it would do if the sponsors of this project were actually supporting ESLint directly instead of this useless middleware.

this 100% is why it isn't mentioned. StandardJS is just a scam that nobody uses except new devs who get tricked by its pervasive marketing.
