This is obviously a great move. I don't know why so many commenters here are against making things better. "Can't you just do <this slightly worse thing> already?". Well yes. But it's slightly worse.

I think the biggest thing is that it doesn't seem to support other formatters. If my project uses black I don't get to have uv format work for me.

fwiw `ruff format` includes nearly all the black rules by default / supports a superset of black's options https://astral.sh/blog/the-ruff-formatter

right, but you definitely shouldn’t be using any other formatter than ruff and this helps with that

Ruff pretty much follows the same rules as black, and can be made identical with some options tweaking.

So when I moved several projects from black to ruff, there were no changes made to the code.

I find this hard to believe since black doesn't even have the same rules as black's next version and I never changed version without something being reformatted.

Also because of fun, if you reformat again with the older version it won't go back to as it was before :)

That wasn't my experience. I tried it on a large project and about 1% of lines were changed. Not a big deal IMO but enough for naysayers to complain.

Thanks for the downvotes. Really shows that you have no familiarity with black.
