One of the best plugin out there
One of the best tools out there in the market.
PROS1) I did use the plugin version of SonarLint. We integrated it with Eclipse, Pycharm and Visual Code2) The tool is extremely configurable as in we can set the rules-based settings for our organization and/or team3) The best part of the plugin is that we can find the suggestions/bug detection at the development time so that there is no need to redevelop and deploy the code4) Another best thing about the product is that it helps mitigate vulnerabilities in the code, keeping the user and the code base up to date. Allows users to learn the best development practices and improves the readability of the code
CONS1) I liked almost everything when I was using it is Eclipse and Pycharm.2) However, I found it a bit slow in response and cumbersome to use in VS code. It might be my personal opinion but I did find it slow.

Plugin used to check issues before deploying
After submitting my first merge request to the supervisor in my first company, I was asked whether I have check the code smells. I said no and then I was asked to add sonar-lint plugin to my IDE, then check the code issues and finally send him the merge request once I fix all those issues. Since that moment I use this everyday to check issues in the code that I daily write.
PROSThis identifies code smells, security issues, bugs and gives suggestions to fix them as well. By using this, developers can release a bug free quality code to the repository and also without knowing that will become a daily practice which is very good for a developer and the company as well.
CONSI found some warnings and I though those are not actually issues to be fixed. So I think not all the warnings that the plugin show are important to be fixed.

Easy SAST in your IDE
SonarLint allows users to customize the rules that are used to analyze their code, making it possible to tailor the tool to the needs of specific project. It integrates with popular IDEs such as Eclipse and Visual Studio, making it easy to use within a developer's existing workflow. The reports include the location of the issue and a description of the problem. SonarLint includes code snippets and examples to help developers understand and fix the issues that have been identified which I find very useful.
CONSSetting up SonarLint can be time-consuming, as it requires installing the tool and configuring it for each specific project. As it happens with all SAST tools, SonarLint only performs static code analysis, meaning it cannot identify issues that may arise during runtime.

Great tool for writing good quality code
It helps to improve our coding standard especially for less experienced people. It helps to avoid more issues from higher environment after code deployment
CONSIt will take some time for new users to gel with this tool but it can not be considered as a disadvantage

The best linter that everybody need to test
It is well integrated with both JetBrains / VSC IDE. It works well with bitbucket and GitHub. Also, it offers a lot of customization and vulnerability hints. A must-have
CONSDid not find any cons as far as I used it.
