This is one of the things I really like about VC, they just implemented their config editing largely the way they support any language: just a json-file (but with comments) which has full-blown intellisense, and offers you a complete example of the defaults side-to-side with clear examples and explanations.

It also allows you to override certain settings per project/directory, which can then easily be included in git (like files to exclude from the file view for a specific project, path/tool settings, indentation settings, ...)
