While looking at #591, I encountered something that I wanted to discuss separately.

Intuitively, I would think that a typical config could look like this:

{
  extends: [
    // start from this
    'eslint:recommended',

    // disable rules that are incompatible with TS or better handled by it
    '@typescript-eslint/eslint-recommended',

    // turn on TS-specific recommended rules
    '@typescript-eslint/recommended'
  ]

However, @typescript-eslint/eslint-recommended already contains some opinionated rules so adding it to our config actually yielded some new errors, which I wouldn't have expected.

I think I'd prefer if eslint-recommended was just a compatibility config while all the additional, opinionated and possibly stricter rules were in recommended. What do you think?
