### What we like

Provides in-line code quality analysis in your IDE as you code. Supports VS Code, JetBrains, Eclipse, Visual Studio. Language specific rules with in-editor docs make it easy to avoid problems e.g. deprecated APIs, complex definitions, useless try/catch branches, etc. Team rules sync. Extensions are open source.

### Tradeoffs

Supports common languages like JS, TS, Python, C, C++, Ruby, Java, PHP, HTML but is missing support for the likes of CSS, Rust and Go.
