Why software developers hate linters?

I don’t hate linters. I hate linters that are a ginormous PITA to install, set up, and configure. I also loathe repos with linters configured that work in one person’s working copy but not another’s because the moon and mercury weren’t correctly aligned at the moment the second working copy was installed.

Software developers often have a love-hate relationship with linters due to issues like warning fatigue and restricting creative freedom in coding. What can be done about it especially in the age of AI agents?
