I’d be willing to bet that in many cases where you feel you need to fight against it, many other folks wouldn’t actually agree that your changes are objectively an improvement.

Now, to be clear, I’m sure it’s possible to find some examples where most programmers would come together and agree that black made the wrong decision. But my experience using it across entire teams is that this is surprisingly rare.

You're probably right, but I'm not interested in putting it to a vote. Most programmers are pretty bad at writing readable code. If the computer can understand the code, many consider it done.

I aim higher than that.
