Outdated Prettier Version in nx

[joh-klein]

Current Behavior

The default version of Prettier used in nx (version "20.3.2") is outdated, specifically pointing to version 2.6.2. This version of Prettier was released over two years ago (in March 2022) and lacks the support for modern JavaScript/TypeScript features introduced in Prettier versions 3.x. This can cause compatibility problems, such as formatting incompatibility with newer TypeScript syntax, as well as missing bug fixes and enhancements.

Expected Behavior

Prettier's version should default to a modern, updated version (e.g., 3.4.2) that supports the latest JavaScript and TypeScript features.
