[13][14] JetBrains provides integrated support for ESLint in their WebStorm code editor, which runs the ESLint software as configured for the current text file, and displays any warnings near the offending lines of code in the editor.

[15][16][17] Since 2016, the Vue.js project provides an ESLint plugin to automatically validate use of Vue.js templates and other features.

[22][23] As of 2021, ESLint is the most commonly used JavaScript linter and is being downloaded over 14,000,000 times per week.
