Likewise here. I think that as far as defaults go, having these config files accessible in project root so makes it easy for people to see what tooling a project uses.

Suppose this pushes through and .config becomes more of a default than a conscious project choice. I don't see all tooling packages to follow-through immediately with it - causing a period where you still have the scourge of some config files in project root, while others are at .config.
