> How will your parser cope with this line and others in that script you have to test with?
The parser of course does not have problem with long lines.
The formatter does not do anything about long lines, as there is no good solution to split lines. This should be done by humans, if they wish to.
> in my experience enforced formatting practices usually make things less readable and harder to edit.
Less readable is subjective, and harder to edit is until you get used to it. In my opinion, the tradeoff is worth it once there are multiple people maintaining a software. Otherwise, you can easily get to a point where pieces of the software are written in wildly different formats.
Diffs become bigger than they need to be, merge conflicts on the rise, readability decreases as noone is happy, etc. Those are simply irrelevant for scripts you develop on your own.
