I'm with you. Though typing `if (a = 1) {}` happens to me sometimes, and const may catch this earlier. I don't use a linter anymore, but I suppose any serious linter would warn about assignement in a condition, anyway.

Why have you stopped using a linter?

The popular airbnb eslint rules[1] require the use of const where a variable is not reassigned, which I've occasionally found handy.
