Why disable `console.log`?

I’m a fan of most of what I see, but I don’t particularly understand the decision to disallow console.log. I can understand the “it has no place in production” argument, but I also wouldn’t want my linter constantly complaining in a development environment.

I don’t understand this rule. I thought console.debug was meant for debugging, messages that should be removed later.

But why would there be no place for console.info or console.warn in production apps?

For example create react app uses console.warn to show eslint warnings in the console.

linters are typically run as part of tests. in development, while you might integrate them into an IDE or editor, that just means the console.log line will have a helpful error next to it reminding you to clean it up.

Alternatively, you could use the actual debugger for development.
