Why would lefthook not be a more reliable tool (in design)

Interesting timing since the pre-commit author recently said it’s more or less been in maintenance mode but is now interested in adding new features.
For me, I would say the most intriguing feature is no Python dependencies.

I wish there's a better comparison to other native solutions like lefthook. I assume the builtin hooks is a core differentiator but I'm not sure if this would be useful outside the Python community.

I didn’t think pre-commit was that slow but I’ll admit I am intrigued. UV has been a godsend so why not?

Imho pre-commit is an antipattern. It tends to break (or rather the janky things it typically runs break) but more importantly whatever needs to be run to gate commits has to be run server-side anyway (people disable precommit, it sometimes produces false negatives, so can't be relied upon). So once you're running the checks server side now you have a second problem which is that the two checks don't always produce the same result. Better to enforce checks in CI, but also provide a way for the dev to run the same check themselves, manually.
