No argument from me there.

It does require a package-install although fortunately it's in non-gnu
elpa so should work out of the box with any reasonably recent Emacs. I
personally wrap this stuff up in use-package:

  ;; EditorConfig
  (use-package editorconfig
    :ensure t
    :diminish "EdCf"
    :config
    ;; See https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-emacs/issues/246
    (add-to-list 'editorconfig-exclude-modes 'git-rebase-mode)
    (editorconfig-mode 1))

We also have have a rather embryonic .dir-locals in the root of the
source tree as well.

Our vim-brethren seem to have multiple ways of installing their plugin:
