If you use it for all general prose, Vale is terrible for those reasons. So is dogmatic adherence to any style guide. For docs, technical writing, and other formal content where you have multiple authors and consistency matters, Vale can be a fantastic tool to remind users of situations where rules help maintain standards without needing to dedicate time to editing. It can also be terrible, if it's used to force awkwardness to satisfy rules arbitrarily, especially in something like CI (which is where I see Vale abused most often - never block a docs contribution on a prose style rule violation that has no functional effect on the content, just iterate on the language).
