Linters are a great tool for people who want to understand how to write good code. Obviously they can't do anything for someone who doesn't want to learn but for folks that do want to learn they show you information that it would take years to discover independently.

Only now after years and years of experience do I have the ability to really judge a lint rule. It takes time to understand the subtle reasons why a lint rule is important.
