If this means it won't appear on my desktop now, perfect! Now, if only there's a way of displaying folders first in Finder..

  "Keep folder on top when sorting by name" is finally an option in Finder on macOS 10.12 Sierra: http://d.pr/i/10yom http://d.pr/i/10yom

    My prayers have been answered. Seriously though, this has been requested for ages and is so clearly a feature benefits a lot of users (even when being opt-in) while probably being easy to implement. I'm so glad they finally did.

This is not a good thing, since it seems the file are still there. I still need to add them to my `.gitignore`. If they are there and I ask to see all files, I want to see them.

  A global gitignore solves that. The file is available in the Terminal. I don't see the point of seeing a `.DS_Store` file on finder.

  Like the "hide Library folder always" I hope there's some CLI command to run to override it. Not that I run with hidden files visible, but I can see why it would be useful.

Surely with Apple's new file system, the need for these files will go away, right? I'm sure they can bake whatever metadata these directories need right into the fs.

  I recently tested APFS on a USB stick, "ls -A" hasn't shown any .DS_Store files.

That's great. .DS_Store was the reason why I stick with the default setting of not showing hidden files.

How do you changed your terminal in that nice looking one?

  It's a custom build of iTerm. You can download it here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ogqyltkbx47kd9b/AAA2uuxIlVFVzQwCHuGHeO-Ma https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ogqyltkbx47kd9b/AAA2uuxIlVFVzQwCH... …or get a similar one https://github.com/jaredculp/iterm2-borderless-padding https://github.com/jaredculp/iterm2-borderless-padding
