It is great to see that so many users are enthusiastic about Biome. It is really gratifying to work on a project that is appreciated and useful to the community.

Once you build a simple Vite backend integration, try not to complicate Vite's configuration unless you absolutely must. Vite has become one of the most popular bundlers in the frontend space, but it wasn't the first and it certainly won't be the last. In my 7 years of building for the web, I've used Grunt, Gulp, Webpack, esbuild, and Parcel. Snowpack and Rome came-and-went before I ever had a chance to try them. Bun is vying for the spot of The New Hotness in bundling, Rome has been forked into Biome, and Vercel is building a Rust-based Webpack alternative.

> My only bad experience with prettier, besides the incredible slowness (orders of magnitude slower than ruff)

Ruff is based on the same foundations that Biome (https://biomejs.dev/). Although Biome doesn't support all languages that Prettier supports, you should give a try, it is fast.

I am also confused by this goal, I've started a discussion in the repo to get some clarity on intent and direction there: https://github.com/biomejs/biome/discussions/1642

Biome [0], a fast Prettier-compatible formatter, is currently working on adding class sorting [1]. We expect to ship the feature with the next release (on February). We are discussing which options to provide for the feature (mainly on the Discord of Biome).

Currently, I am using ESLint for formatting of basic things like spacing and quotes. However, those rules were deprecated with v8.53.0 and moved to @stylistic/eslint-plugin. But they recommend Prettier or dprint.

Prettier is opinionated. dprint is highly configurable.

I mean, I know I am a bad person because of those long names, but that is how life goes sometimes! And the blank line there at the top is just very important to like, catch one's breath, while reading this code.

(I'm really just posting this in the hopes that somebody will throw me a "Bro, just use hpstrlnt, it totally lets you configure that!" -- I have not actually tried Rome to see if it does (it's Monday morning and I'm not quite ready to be disappointed again...))

[1]: dprint is good, and I recommend it as the best code formatter I currently know of: https://dprint.dev/

If it's something in the vein of one of those things then, worst case, you generate the code first, then run it through something like dprint.

Why not compare Rome formatter to the actual competition, https://dprint.dev/ ?
