there are many packages and maintainers of such who just dont give a damn about the formatter or the style, some people just *want what they want*

Sure, but there's a standard formatter, they become a small minority.

and with style insensitivity they become a non-issue?

The compiler might not be sensitive to style, but *I* am.

I guess the best thing would be having a formatter that can switch the style for you locally. I don’t think Nim has this currently, would be neat if they did.

I don't think most people care about a specific style, as long as it's consistent. That's why I love Black, we all disagree with it equally, but each for different reasons.
