It is definitely opinionated, but I tend to agree with those opinions.

And while I agree with Patrick that it calls things that should be best
practices as failures, it also provides a lot of information to help
educate the user. I also like the way it finds things that require manual
checks and instructs you how to do the manual check!

And in case folks hadn't noticed, there's a new version of the "AInspector
Sidebar" (the browser extension version of FAE) that works with Firefox
Quantum. It's now called "AInspector WCAG."
