I don’t think it’s about being opinionated so much as being configurable. If you can change its behavior then sooner or later you will find someone who insists you do, and then you don’t actually have a standard anymore. I like the authoritarian approach of go fmt and the strong idioms in Golang generally. Maybe because I lost many an hour arguing about the correct way to configure PerlTidy, only to have my hard-won righteous perfectionism destroyed when everyone joined the Cult of Moose.
