Mine is that the useState hook is an actual plague on the entire React ecosystem. Regardless of your opinions of React, if you wanna use something then use it right.

Tab chars are better than spaces AND the correct tab width is 2 spaces
Tab chars are better, no opinion on the width but if you use the chars, everyone can do what they want
I don't see why an IDE can't convert e.g. 4 width spaces to 50% visual width for those that prefer 2 spaces. That way the code doesn't need changing, and everyone still enjoys their own personal width preferences
I use 8-wide tabs. I also keep lines under 80 characters
No, I don't use Java. How did you know?
I was on board with the first guy, but this is going too far. We should compromise between the 2- and 4-spaces camp, and we settle on 3 spaces.
Lets make it incremental instead: 1 space for first ident, 2 space for second, 3 space for third... 🙃

Formating is so 1990.
Modern would be to store Program code as database. Formating and UX of program code would be separated and an IDE would show Program code in the user preferred way.
But every Developer: "Hey modern way to store structured Data, you are wrong for my Work."
