Re: [GNUnet-developers] .dir-local.el for all/most repos

[Florian Dold]

Instead of pushing settings just for Emacs, why don't you use something
that all editors can use?

For example https://editorconfig.org/

There are plugins for this for pretty much every editor out there.  That
would be much more useful than a ".dir-locals.el".
