The main thing that I would insist on is that chunks of code that are more understandable in a tabular format than a tree format need to be protected from the formatter.

Only to note that Astropy recently committed itself to using Black,
after a fairly long discussion and an Astropy Proposal for
Enhancement:

https://github.com/astropy/astropy-APEs/blob/main/APE20.rst

https://docs.astropy.org/en/latest/development/codeguide.html#coding-style-conventions

I also find I prefer single-quoted strings, for some reason, but -
probably like Chris - I don't feel strongly about it.

Cheers,

Matthew
