gosimports VS gofumpt

gosimports ( https://github.com/rinchsan/gosimports ) provides a simpler result than an original goimports. This tool puts just one blank line between standard packages and the others.

I created a better/simpler goimports ( rinchsan/gosimports ) to minimize the number of blank lines in the import block. It is 100% interface-compatible with goimports.

In the roadmap section[1] the author says it's more of an experiment with a possibility that some of the rules might end up in the original 'gofmt' tool. While I agree that Go having a de facto formatter built in is wonderful, there are some absolutely fantastic additions in 'gofumpt' that I do hope wind up in 'gofmt'

No. If you want more strict formatting, you can use https://github.com/mvdan/gofumpt. Apart from using that, there is literally no reason not to use it.

I am the author of go-global-update, the missing command to update globally installed go executables (like gofumpt, gopls, gotop, and other CLI tools you may have installed globally in your system - in your GOBIN directory).

I think that the one tool that might still be useful outside of gopls is goimports. It can be used as a gofmt replacement, that also automatically manages and removes imports. Gopls can integrate staticcheck and gofumpt, but my understanding is that they have to be installed manually. See the settings section for more on that(1).

I use gofumpt but I'm pretty sure it doesn't wrap either (and I don't want it to so we're good)
