I hear you, however something like streambuf is kinda necessary for a type-erased interface for input/output of trivial objects. The C alternative is FILE*, which isn't much better and isn't as customizable either. I agree that the formatting could have been done better, and that part is indeed handled much better in fmt, although personally I dislike format strings. It's much better than printf, granted.

{fmt} has internal buffering but it's not yet exposed to users. There is a feature request for it: https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2354 https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2354. FILE buffering is not too bad but it can be easily optimized: https://www.zverovich.net/2020/08/04/optimal-file-buffer-size.html https://www.zverovich.net/2020/08/04/optimal-file-buffer-siz....
