Because he pushed jslint to be de-facto for everyone, not just newbies, and
belittled those whose code didn't comply.

I don't disagree - I just want it more configurable to my/our "house
style". Because I find it useful that it does catch some errors (there's a
large class of errors for example that "use strict" doesn't catch until
runtime, which is annoyingly late - I'd like a jslint that can catch those
errors, without futzing with my style - it seems clojure compiler might
just do that though).
