So, this looks interesting. Rather than a real new linter, Github is proposing a tool that runs against a number of common linting standards with a single shared standard library. Perhaps it would have been better pitched a Lint-runner for CI jobs rather than a real linter.

Never thought of that! That does seem more accurate and descriptive.

Agreed. The headline and article had me believe that this was some language-agnostic linter framework. Which I guess it is in a sense, but it's only the dispatching part that's language-agnostic.

The primary feature is the integration with Actions. Surprisingly most linter actions don't give you inline annotations. For each linter you have to find a separate solution. Css Eslint Etc I ended up using jest and the linter plugins for that, just so I would get readable inline reports. Otherwise it just fails and my devs have to search for the raw log in the checks panel. I didn't do any others because it's too much work to set up and runs longer, burns more carbon.
