The time this bit me the most the error was swallowed in a dependency of a dependency of a gulp plugin. Do you also eslint node_modules//*.js?

In my experience, it has too many false positives to turn on.

Sorry to hear about your experience. Been using it for years as part of our build processes with no false positives.

You're always welcome to write a replacement if you find it unsuitable.

I don’t need a replacement, just offering an explanation for why some people’s needs might not be satisfied by this rule.
