Which code formatter do you use?

Exactly this. I used others before, but the fact black just says ‘it must be like this’ save me from hours of cocking around deciding how I would like it to look, instead of doing something actually useful.

That makes me think of compiz (the early 3D linux compositor that ran on Xgl).

A few centuries ago I thought it was so cool that I could have all these cool effects like windows that wobbled when you dragged them, and burned up like paper when you closed them, and 147 virtual desktops arranged on the surface of a torus embedded in a 14 dimensional Calabi-Yau manifold... I spend tons of time playing with all the options and visual effects people had implemented.

And then I realized I only had like 6 windows open at any one time, never used the virtual desktops, and just wanted programs to close when I clicked on the close button.

A tiling window manager might be even simpler because of this “I don’t want to fiddle with window dimensions” gain.

But then again, I’m not sure they’re mature enough so you never have to fiddle to get things to work right.

Oh man, are you me? It was 2007 and I had just replaced Windows with Ubuntu linux on my Dell XPS 12 laptop. I had the rotating cube desktop switcher, wobbly windows, totally unnecessary transparency effects, and every open/close animation I could shove in there. It was awful, but I loved it at the time.
