Why there are many projects in various VCSs that contain
.idea
folder? Isn't it IDE configs that should not be put into version control?

I've added
.idea
to
.gitignore
, but left
.iml
file
That should work even if all IDE-specific files are excluded, right?

I’m not sure what you mean by “but left
.iml
file”, also I can’t know what files were already checked in before modifying the
.gitignore
One way to check if your setup works would be to clone the repository to a new directory and try to open it. Simulate a new person joining the project

Gotta try it...
It works. One do not need any IDEA config files in repository with properly configured build system. IDEA imports its configs from the build system (at least for me it works with Maven)
