I'm surprised to hear that programmers leave these files in the various folders. That's a new one for me.

It sounds as if someone doesn't much about Mac OS X and is apparently annoyed but hasn't done the research as to why Finder creates them. Hopefully, the script can't do much damage.

I've tried removing these .DS_Store files on different occasions and they always
seem to come right back within minutes. So why bother?
