Biome vs ESLint — Which one do you prefer and why?

[Abdullah-dev0]

Hey everyone 👋

I’ve been exploring different tools for linting and formatting in JavaScript/TypeScript projects. Recently, I came across Biome — it claims to be a faster and more modern alternative to ESLint (and even replaces Prettier in some cases).

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

• Have you tried Biome yet?
• How does it compare to ESLint in real-world projects?
• Any major pros/cons or migration issues?

I’m considering using it in a new project, so any insights or experiences would be super helpful 🙏

I haven't tried Biome, ESLint works great + Prettier, there were problems, but nothing complicated that I couldn't solve very quickly.

Feature	Biome	ESLint
Speed	🚀 Very Fast	🐢 Slower
Ecosystem	🌱 Growing	🌳 Mature
TypeScript Support	👍 Good (some limits)	👍 Excellent
Customizability	👌 Simpler, less	💪 Very flexible
Plugin Support	🚸 Limited	🏆 Extensive
Formatting	🧹 Built-in	Separate (Prettier)

Go ahead and experiment with Biome in your new project. If you decide to revert, the migration path to ESLint isn't complicated. Just be prepared that a format change will likely be a significant commit that touches many files and could clutter your Git blame/history
