I don't know about vim specifically, it was neovim here, for the record.

Anyhow I put on latex gloves and typed in "apt install emacs", added
the plugin as documented on github
(https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-emacs + entries to
.emacs.d/init.el) and got precisely the same behavior.

There is no way I'm trying to other editors.

At this point I suspect this *is* the intended behavior and other
people don't run into it because their editor does not look at
.editorconfig to begin with.

Note my vim does not either, I only ran into it after experimenting with neovim.
