I have to say I love editorconfig, I feel that once you start running code and managing tools it starts to get too much for me. At that point just spin up a VM or container so that the environment is yours.

I loathe pre-commit hooks. I often times just want to save work in progress or show someone what I have right now and they slow down my work or worse fail and lose my commit message and cause me to have to figure out how to disable them to continue. If you want to run checks for formatting or similar that is much better done in CI. I can get a reminder without breaking any dev workflows. Of course make fixing formatting a single command, and maybe an optional hook for those that prefer it. But when projects try to auto-install hooks it drives me crazy.
