If you use a fucking editor plugin to insert semicolons for you, why even insert them in the first place? They're fucking optional, goddamn it

Because carriage returns aren't statement terminators.

Code consistency.

By avoiding semicolons, you cause readability nightmares and risk totally avoidable and hard to troubleshoot bugs.

Just because you're allowed to skip semicolons, it doesn't make it a good practice.

Since I don't use an editor plugin. I don't feel called out. For me the semicolons are essential but all semicolons in my code are typed by hand. It's a habit.

Because js code without semi colons is error prone and unclear so it's better to add them some way than not at all

SOURCE
const x = 1
(1+x).toString()

OUTPUT
const x = 1(1+x).toString();

SOURCE
return
{
x:1
}

OUTPUT
return;
{x:1};

FYI: this last example is a caveat - it would return the obj if the { was placed on the same line as the return.
