Add context about Romes philosophy
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
As discussed in #3698 (reply in thread) if you are new to the world of formatting it might be hard to understand at first why Rome (and Prettier) are so opinionated. Prettier has a whole philosophy page which might be overkill at this point. But adding just a few of these links add's a lot of necessary context as they will either immediately resonate or alienate people which are looking for a less opinionated tool.

# Formatter

Rome's an opinionated formatter that has the goal to stop all ongoing debates over styles. That's why Rome only supports
few options to avoid that debates over styles turn into debates over Rome options.
Rome's an opinionated formatter that has the goal to stop all ongoing debates over styles. It follows a similar [philosophy to Prettier](https://prettier.io/docs/en/option-philosophy.html), only supporting
few options to avoid that debates over styles turn into debates over Rome options. It deliberately [resists the urge to add new options](https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/40) to prevent [bike-shed discussions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_triviality) in teams so they can focus on what really matters instead.
