If the main argument for Ruff is speed, its real advantage is the consolidation of the Python QA menagerie:

  - isort (import statement sorting)
  - pyupgrade (syntax upgrade for newer Python versions)
  - pylint (general linting)
  - pycln (remove unused imports)
  - pydocstyle (docstring syntax checks)

All of these can be replaced with a single ruff call. Ruff consolidates the rules from all these tools into a comprehensive and non-overlapping corpus. And removes the burden of having to find the right invokation order.

What's missing for ruff to be the gold standard, is to adopt features from:

  - autopep8 (wraps long comments)
  - docformatter (docstring auto-formatting)
  - black (determinism code formatting)
  - blacken-docs (applying black on Python code blocks in documentation)
