Yes, Prettier largely won by not having many competitors strictly focused on formatting in a simple to consume package.

I don't think many people who are serious about high "signal to noise" code formatting are supportive of the design decisions prettier makes. e.g. the staggered import lines, left-shifting and up-shifting of implementation details, not allowing trailing comments on the same line

We can have consistent formatting and also avoid tons of visual noise that prettier produces... I've wanted to build a competing solution for awhile, but never made the time for it. Perhaps Anthony's project achieves that... I'll give it a try!
