### What we like

Bring code linting to your filesystem - easily enforce file and directory name and structure rules. Use a single or multiple config files. File extension based rules. Works cross platform and available via various package managers. Minimal dependencies. Useful rules out of the box.

### Tradeoffs

Be careful with the ignore rules for node\_modules, otherwise parsing can be very slow (see GitHub Issue #246).
