Meh. Fair point, but that isn't the only topic being discussed. And when the topic is whether ruff the tool is worthwhile, the discussion is more a pile of complaints.

I agree that the topic you're describing, and that is suggested by the URL posted, are worth talking about. It makes me nervous to invest time into a VC-backed linter. Though it seems useful enough to be forkable if things go sour.

"VC-backed linter" is a bizarre phrase, though honestly I think you could have described something like Purify in Ye Olden Days as a linter, and it was worth spending money on. (And the issues with being VC-backed go well beyond simply being whether or not something is worth spending money on.)
