Your comment about how it makes editing flow like python is spot on, and I've been saying this for years. I'm a long time parinfer-rust user in spacemacs, and it makes me very happy.

However it also made me very strict and opinionated about formatting. One of the main downsides of parinfer comes when you have to interact with someone else's poorly indented or opinionated (wrongly) formatting that goes against the clojure style guide. Parinfer can then ruin otherwise working code because things are out of alignment. To fix this, I set up a function to force format files on open, which mostly works but then for the longest time made me the source of a lot of white space commits. It also struggles with egregiously long files.

Thankfully I eventually got my team on board with force formatting all files and treating non standard formatting as linting errors. We also cut down the largest files one of the other devs made, and that helped a lot.
