Recommend Product: NO

In addition to what gslusher mentioned .DS_Store files can also contain Spotlight (Finder) comments that, for example, several third party file tagging apps rely on.

Hopefully the developer adds these kinds of caveat warnings about .DS_Store files somewhere obvious for anyone who's considering using this StartupItem. It might be tempting for some people to remove them before understanding the possible negative side effects.
