Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

ESLint

  • Slow performance on large codebases compared to newer tools like Oxlint and Biome
  • Complexity in configuration from scratch, particularly for TypeScript support
  • Limited built-in TypeScript support, requiring separate parsers and coordination with new TypeScript features

Webflow

  • Does not support user authentication or password management; feature removed January 2026
  • Does not automate workflows natively; feature removed June 2025
  • CMS rendering constraints limit scalability: 40 Collection lists per page, 100 items per list, 20,000 items total
  • E-commerce capabilities are limited compared to dedicated platforms
  • Hosting lock-in prevents exporting sites to other platforms; no full server-level access for advanced SEO customizations
