is this ever going to end? is this really important? is this worth your time? the clock is ticking, go outside. life is beautiful.

@jonagoldman Having this file in the .gitignore will just increase the number of PR's, as it will encourage the creation of them. IK that it was merged because people were tired of it but it will only make things worse.

This is why I suggested PR templates!!!!

sigh

This literally doesn't even matter. :/

Well i'm closing this, honestly for me it doesn't matter if this file has every single IDE and OS files being ignored or not i just think that ignoring .idea and not .DS_STORE or any other common file is nonsense since there is no standard and it will encourage other people to create PR's adding the "missing" files.

I think it's a good idea to have it

it does't matter. there will always be a PR to either add it or remove it. its kind of a quantum thing.

You know what? Maybe it would help to replace /.idea in .gitignore with

# Do not put IDE or OS specific ignores in your local .gitignore file 
# Instead ignore it globally. See this link: https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files/
# /.idea

That way, chances are, that people visit the .gitignore file in order to add IDE specific ignores, but follow the better practice after they have read your comment. This might even reduce the amount of PRs on that.

@tpraxl That sounds good, i'm not creating the PR though.
