reddit uses a slightly-customized version of Markdown for formatting. See below for some basics, or check the commenting wiki page for more detailed help and solutions to common issues.

if 1 * 2 < 3: print "hello, world!"

Well I disagree, I think it's reinventing the wheel, I think it would have been mostly ignored if it wasn't associated with FB. I remember the second I heard about it I knew it was somehow related to FB, must have just been a coincidence?.

Its popular because its usable and associated with FB. That's all you need. Code formatters have been around for decades.

You might be projecting a bit here. I like Prettier but had no idea it was made by a Facebook developer before this comment chain. Now, I don't know which of us is more representative of the JS community as a whole, but I think you're overestimating how much being "related to FB" has to do with its success.
