## What it is
SublimeLinter is the code linting framework for the Sublime Text editor. It provides the core infrastructure for running external linters and displaying errors, with actual linters added via separate adapter plugins from Package Control.

## Use cases
- lint code as I type in Sublime Text
- show eslint errors inline in Sublime Text
- run flake8 in the background while editing Python
- highlight syntax errors with squiggles in the gutter
- build a custom linter plugin for Sublime Text
- integrate LSP diagnostics into Sublime Text

## When to choose
- you use Sublime Text and want inline linting feedback
- you want a plugin-based framework that supports many command-line linters
- you need background linting with gutter marks and error navigation

## When to avoid
- you use VS Code or another editor with built-in linting
- you expect linters to be bundled out of the box
- you need a standalone CLI linting tool
