I'm not implying this is the case for SwaLint, but, there are cases where started-from-scratch alternatives take away resources that would have been better spent improving an existing implementation. Also known as CADT (http://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html).
I am aware of that phenomenon. :-)
In this case, the entire thing started as a student project in a course on software technology. The task was to construct a new system. In the end, it turned out to be a very nice one - so why not make it public?
Best,
