Being opinionated with minimal configuration, it may not support all advanced custom rules or configurations that teams rely on with tools like ESLint, potentially forcing compromises.
As a newer tool, it has fewer community plugins and extensions compared to established alternatives like ESLint, which could limit adaptability for niche use cases.
Transitioning from separate Prettier and ESLint setups to Biome can involve significant effort, with potential configuration conflicts and learning curve for existing workflows.
