Agreed. Plus now many editors obey the same .editorconfig files; and for those that don't, .editorconfig can be used as a reference for developers to configure their own working environment.
I can understand wanting to standardize in a company with a 1000-person engineering org, where maybe it's harder to enforce that everyone uses the same conventions if there's no standardization in tools; but in a team of a few dozen, you should only be hiring people you trust anyway, and communicating with them about why small things like this are important.
