I wish Oxfmt supported plugins. Prettier's plugin API is one of the worst APIs I've ever worked with. I'm eager to switch to a different formatter with a better plugin API (and I need plugins).

I was excited about Oxfmt until I tried it and found that it's mostly intended to be a Prettier replacement. Ugh.

I'm curious to know what you were hoping for. Are there features you're looking for in a formatter that prettier/oxfmt don't offer?

I was hoping for something more flexible. I suppose the whole point of Prettier is that it's not flexible but I find 90% of the times the code is actually uglier when using it.

Try Biome then. But Oxfmt is still faster.

Have you tried contributing a system for that?
