# ktlint

According to https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint/issues/701 it sounds like intellij idea integration is imperfect.

I am proposing to deprecate current IntellijIDEA integration. Problem with it:

- writes IDEA specific configuration xml files that could not be used by other editors

- is detached from used rules and not configurable. Only generic style is written to configuration file.

The project readme makes it seem like it is perfect?

. with IntelliJ IDEA

While this is not strictly necessary it makes Intellij IDEA's built-in formatter produce 100% ktlint-compatible code

Worth opening up a bug about the README, or am I misinterpreting something.
