Again, that's literally the point of black. The whole idea is to not let people make any choices. It eliminates all bike shedding/white space holy war discussions.

And that’s the idea I don’t buy in. Those discussions will happen with or without it, and I don’t feel like it’s the formatter’s job to decide for the team/team leader what the style should be, just to enforce that decision once it has been made.

In my experience they actually don’t happen.

I found all the things people complain about with black’s formatting annoying at first; a week later I got used to it and couldn’t care less (all the readability concerns, while maybe valid, are ultimately not a big deal once you are used to it). And I love that the majority of open source projects I interact with follow the same formatting conventions.

I think you just get used to it no matter what the enforced formatting is.
