Rather than “writing... with a model of how black will yield the final code in mind,” it’s more like “Oh, shit, Black made a real mess of this. Can I fix this without butchering the code?”

Yeah--we're basically second-order black formatters now. Not writing code that looks nice, but writing code so a tool that writes code will make it look nice.

Not really. At least that wasn't my intention to say that. Most of the time, I find Black does a Good Enough Job(tm) that I don't care to mess with it.
