I've noticed that there's a lot of junk in .gitignore that really shouldn't be there:

A lot of this just doesn't make sense, some of it should be in people's global .gitignore files. It's hard to know though since different platforms generate different files that should be ignored. There's also a lot of *.ext type patterns that should be scoped more strictly inside of src, e.g.
