I would appreciate some help clarifying this. @tgodzik 🙏 :)

👍 Scalafix and scalafmt are not compiler plugins. Scalafmt is totally separate entity, while scalafix uses semanticdb.

Removing scalafmt is fine (I had thought it was semanticdb-based, oops!).
Removing scalahost is fine, too.
But it was never my intention to imply, through poor phrasing, that scalafix is a compiler plugin. I wanted to include it because it's so important and because its existence is enabled by semanticdb-scalac, which is a compiler plugin. Not everyone knows what semanticdb is, but everybody knows about scalafix.
Wdyt about the following replacement phrasing:
Plugins that enable tooling. One such plugin is semanticdb-scalac, which enables scalafix (a well-known refactoring and listing tool) to do its work.

Semanticdb is currently mentioned next to Paradise, but I guess I can rephrase it to mention scalafix explicitly ;)
scalafix/scalafmt aren't compiler plugins, scalahost isn't maintained.

OK, I think I'm good with these changes. @SethTisue can you approve me for workflows? |

Took me some time... @SethTisue when you have a moment :) |

Thank you! |
