Yes, it's opinionated, but who's opinion got carved into stone?

  Does it matter?

    Well, someone convinced the Python community that their coding standard should be the one coding standard.

  That does not really matter as long as the default are somewhat sensible. As far as I can tell Black's are. gofmt is also opiniated. Someone somewhere picked the defaults and maybe I disagree with those defaults, but in the grand scheme of things, all go code is more approachable because it all looks the same. That to me, is worth a lot more than having my favorite format be the one on top. EDIT: If you want to discuss the actual merits of Black, you can read their style page that actually explains every choice they made: https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/current_style.html https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/...
