Ironically, perhaps, considering its popularity among technical writers, Vale's documentation is ambiguous in places and difficult to navigate.

It's in keeping with traditional techpubs software being an unmitigated dumpster fire. :)

Not Vale, though. Vale's pretty slick; although personally I've always gravitated to RedPen.cc and LanguageTools[1] more than Vale. Grammarly, yes, Grammarly is also in this natlang linter space, but has possibly the least responsible data safety rules of any VSC extension I've ever seen. It's harsh, but I comprehensively advise customers away from Grammarly if they have any kind of data restriction at all.
