My main question is what advantage Flycheck has over Flymake. I understand it has a database of tools built-in, but considering that more and more people rely on LSP for the information (and Eglot supports Flymake OOTB), I don't know how valuable this is. In addition to that, there are projects like https://github.com/mohkale/flymake-collection https://github.com/purcell/flymake-flycheck that could help bridge the gap.
