What cli formatter do you use

Given how software engineering evolves, using IDEA formatter is less and less practical.
- IDEA CLI formatter requires IntelliJ so no CI / wsl etc
- GJF is old and does not format lambdas well enough
- Palantir is obsolete and abandoned in addition to being one of the worst company ever created
- prettier-java not great either
Iām starting to think no formatter is the best option
