Alternatively:

3. Use :lgrep / :lvimgrep instead of :grep / :vimgrep, to put search
results in a loclist, rather than in the quickfix list.

3'. Use something like syntastic to run jshint checks, which
automatically puts check results in a loclist.

I personally prefer syntastic combined with Ack, which is a frontend
to ack, which in turn is a (much) better grep:
