is much modern and performant by design

I believe you, but can you back this up please? 🙂

As in: I'm totally on board with e18e initiatives, just we need details before jumping onto something new.

• Modern: what are the API differences? Why are they better?
• Performance: got stats? what's different?

I believe @Rel1cx may have better answer.

Just found https://eslint-react.xyz/docs/faq

Does this make sense for you?

It makes sense but doesn't answer my questions 🙂. This is a point of feedback that I've had on a lot of e18e-style initiatives: we need real evidence. That FAQ is a good FAQ for high-level ideas of the plugin. But I want actual answers to:

• Modern: what are the API differences? Why are they better?
• Performance: got stats? what's different?

The performance point in particular is not answered there. When someone says something has better performance, that needs to be backed up with actual measurements / numbers. People make incorrect performance claims all the time. Oftentimes it's because they measure in some types of projects but not others.

FWIW I like the new eslint-react project and think it has a lot of good stuff in it. But we need to do due diligence before jumping to something new.
