Yes. The idea was that eslint let's you do whatever you want, but it's daunting to download eslint and then be asked to create useful rules from scratch, and eslint doesn't have amazing defaults, and it would be kind of cool if the JS world could be more like the Golang world with gofmt. These are valid observations!

So Feross tried to solve this by, yes, making an eslint config and a thin wrapper around it to run it, then giving it a really pretentious name in the hope it would become The Coding Style for JS. It didn't work. Airbnb has always had a significantly more popular eslint config package, and more recently the Prettier tool has solved the problem Standardjs was trying to solve much better (and become much more popular).

And the issue with trying to do what Standardjs is trying to do is that if you're not the most popular solution, you're part of the problem. :)
