ESLint alternatives
7 other tools do this job. Which one is right depends on why ESLint is not working for you — so start from the reason, not the list.
Why teams leave ESLint
- Configuration is a real project of its own, and the flat-config migration caused significant churn.
- Slow on large codebases without caching.
- Rule sprawl produces bikeshedding unless someone owns the config.
Worth saying: ESLint is genuinely strong at this — the plugin ecosystem lets you enforce almost any convention as a rule. If that is the part you rely on, switching may cost more than it saves.
If cost is the problem
Cheaper than ESLint at the entry point, or free outright.
