(2017-12-20T22:00:00.000Z) With eslint, coders can save a lot of time (in theory) by checking code for simple (but hard to find) errors. Take a function where you typed one parameter name, and used a different name, and then your unit testing did not touch that function. You'll find that error after a customer reports a bug. With eslint such an error can be caught before shipping the code.
