I had been wondering for a while why I'd import some lib into my project and all the sudden my editor configs were all messed up with no way to fix them. Then today I noticed a file I had seen in various places on my hard drive but never opened...
The sneaky .editorconfig (I'll just call it "*efig*") So now I can deal with it. Idk how I feel about it. Like I said, it has caused me some distress before I learned of it. I've been programming nonstop since about 1997; so if I didn't know about this, imagine how many others experience the bad touch. Some options: - Officially recommend that developers who use efigs also leave a !IMPORTANT.md or something like this in the project root. In her can be short explains. - Standardize that editors/IDEs always prompt the user when it detects an efig. - The all new annual efig awareness week. - No more efig: Deprecate and decompose. Obviously this one won't happen. Long-live efigs I suppose. Other than that, pretty sweet proj but it was super annoying before I realized. So those are my feels on the sitch, you dirty little sneakachus... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "EditorConfig" group.
