As far as I'm aware, ESLint provides all JSHint's functionality and then some, while being more configurable, more modular, and more extensible. I believe it is slightly slower, though I've never experienced serious performance issues.

I'd suggest recommending it rather than JSHint.

I'd at least tone down the claim that JSHint is the best to "JSHint is a good style checker".

I agree, to solve this, we can make a list of the lints|hints available with your specifications. What do you think?

Mentions ESLint's strengths, but doesn't go in-depth on why you'd use one of the others.

Resolves jstherightway#205.

I agree with eslint as best tool for lint:

  • have the same rules like jshint
  • but is flexible, to add plugins

an example, in specific frameworks, we have specific patterns to their., example, eslint-plugin-angular add rules to lint pattern of john papa
