Earlier quoted context omitted.
Doug readily admits that JSLint is opinionated. For example, it considers omitting a curly brace on a single line conditional to be an error. It considers fall through switch statements an error. It even considers differing opinions on whitespace to be an error. It's absolutely fine to have an automated tool to enforce style guidelines. But code which disagrees with that tool isn't necessarily bad. We have published…
You can easily dismiss the numerous non-style related errors that JSLint finds because of the claim that JSLint "opinionated". And you can dismiss the numerous non-style related errors that one finds because you can claim a flaw in poster's personality. The point being that I'm tired of reading responses that only focus on an insulting comment a poster makes in order to dismiss all valid technical criticism.
If you include insults, purely stylistic criticism, and valid technical criticism all in an orgy of excited and angry words, people aren't going to take the time to dissect the actually interesting bits.
And, let's not forget, you're the one who claimed that jQuery and Prototype fail horribly on JSLint without providing any information on the actual errors, so the burden to prove they are not just style errors is still on you.
