The creeping scourge of tooling config files in project root directories
I don't get this, what's the problem here?
Having config files in root means you know they can apply to all sub directories. This has nice properties like recursive behaviours (see .gitignore)If you want to put (most of) your config files in a .config folder, then most apps should support thatIf you want to view your config files in a different way, then actually you're trying to solve a different problem. Perhaps hide show toggling or automatic grouping (see macOS desktop stacks) with your fs viewer would be a better area to tackle.Finally, just wanted to say, everything at root level is usually config or a folder, so if I want to understand what tooling a project uses, I know immediately where to go, code is always in a "src" or similar. It sounds like this is a feature, not a bug.
