Please remove prettier #71

A compiler shouldn't depend on code formatting / beautifier utilities. That's the job of the IDE. vscode already handles this very well, for example.

Would you please remove prettier dependency?

Why? It's good for debugging purpose. That's why it's only used when NODE_ENV !== 'production'. And we've also provided a prettify option to turn it off.

To avoid yet another dependency. It seems strange for a compiler to do code formatting. There are separate tools to do debugging, code editing, etc. A compiler should focus on compiling.

For now, we still need code formatting at this level for a better template debugging experience.

We can remove it for Vue 3, though, because templates in Vue 3 will have much better source map support.
