Thanks for opening an issue!

Note that if you want to work on this yourself, the source is actually in the SDK repository: https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/blob/main/pkg/linter/lib/src/rules/avoid_empty_else.dart

Parker, do you allow me to post a screenshot on my LinkedIn? I've been working with flutter for just over 5 months and when I read your answer I was very happy. I know this was a small thing, but for me it is incredible.

Hey @FeBotero, sure! I'm happy I was able to help and I hope your journey with Dart and Flutter is going well and continues for a long time 🥳

I still really appreciate you catching and reporting this. It's extremely helpful to both me and every other developer who views the page. You suggesting this also helped us notice and fix other nearby issues. Perhaps these docs would have never been improved if you didn't spend time reporting this, so thanks again!

Let us know if you find any other issues or areas of improvement, or have any questions about Dart :D
