It is my religious belief that we all do evil, at least a little bit, at least sometimes, even if we wish to do good. As St. Paul said, "For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing."
That means that I cannot, in good conscience, use software that requires me to agree that I'm not doing evil. If your conscience is confident that your use of JSLint involves no evil - that you are sinless and blameless - I'm happy for you. Unfortunately I cannot say that of myself.
(And if your conscience lets you say that of your employer and all your co-workers, I really want to know where you work.)
