It’s always a fun little, largely meaningless, bike shed. ;)

I don’t understand how people prefer invisible characters which change sized depending on the editor to visible ones which are consistent and easy to scan for.

Oh boy there is a whoooooole fun thing on that here: https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/7475

And ya I also don't appreciate having to care about formatting for my code to compile and not being able to put debug statements at column 1 so they stick out like a sore thumb, though I suppose the solution to the latter is to stop being a puts/print debugger but, like... no :)
