My point is why create something new on any basis, if there's a fairly good solution to the problem that you can help improve?
Sure, once you've gone and created a brand new tool you've gone past the point of a PR unless you were starting with a fork. My original question was, why jump to a new tool out of the gate when the differences seem fairly minor. Yes, I'm sure that pgFormatter probably didn't start with the prettier paper... but so what? If you aren't coming up with something really different, I'm not sure that matters.
Actually, thinking about it. What I need more than an SQL formatter is something closer to a linter quite frankly. In complex queries it's easy to miss something... I know, I know... I'm probably talking about something more like an IDE since many of the errors are likely to be logical rather than syntactic, but still... that would be a better problem to solve than a formatter right now.
