In one of my recent projects, we used SonarQube. I had actually never worked with that tool before. What bothered me most was how it marked things as errors but did not explain _why_ they were wrong. When it comes to code style, there's a lot of room for personal opinion, and this just led to me arguing with the architect about whether something is a false positive or not. That time could have been spent writing actual, working code or more unit tests.

I use SonarQube myself and have generally found its rules to make sense after a quick Google, at most.

Aside from its code formatting rules, which are just silly. They're easy enough to modify or turn off, though, so there's that.
