    If your whole team uses the same IDE, what’s wrong with commiting things like run configurations and code styles? I agree in general, but a wholesale ban on it is very cargo culty to me. There can be legitimate times to do it.

      I elaborated on it below. Your team will grow and shrink. No guarantee that each developer will bring the same IDE. This is especially true for open source projects.

      If it works your team, no need to be dogmatic about it. Just be careful about what you put there and agree on a set of sane defaults with your team. Your project should build and run tasks without needing a specific IDE.

      Absolutely nothing wrong. Their whole argument is that it delivers no guarantees about the things set in these files, but setting these presets is more about convenience than enforcing an equal development environment.

      Whoever needs to enforce things like formatting and linting at the project level should be using a CI step.
