That's cool, but that's one plugin for one editor - editorconfig is a simple plugin with a very wide range of support to solve the problem it solves.

Linters and formatters are great for enforcing code styles but they tend to be per language and require more configuration, shy of ripping off an existing spec.

If you don't want to go the whole hog and only need some basic constraints then editorconfig is easy to throw into a repo root.
