Other people working on the project add their ignored files to the same .gitignore. No problem.

I don't understand why people make an issue of that. Just add everything that needs to be ignored to the .gitignore, as long as it makes sense to someone. If I use XYZ-Obscure-Unknown-Editor, just let me add `.xyz-obscure-unknown-editor/` to the .gitignore. It literally has no negative impact on anyone.

There's no reason to gatekeep what goes to the .gitignore
