Should I use the built in linter in Typescript >2 or TSLint?

Question

I'm trying to decide why I should use TSLint in my Typescript2/Angular2 project.

List of rules exposed by TSLint: https://palantir.github.io/tslint/rules/

Compiler options available using TypeScript: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/compiler-options.html

Since Typescript2 now has some compiler options such as --noUnusedParameters, is there really a need for TSLint? Is TSLint a superset of the compiler options?

Project structure:

Answer 1

TSLint removes rules when they are added to TypeScript proper. There's still a lot of rules in there that TypeScript doesn't check for, though, so if you care about it, you'll probably want to use both.

Answer 2

I'm happily using TSLint for Typescript Library Starter in combination with TSLint config standard which not only offers you a widen set of rules, but also they aim to be standardised.
