I actually like it a lot for stuff that is user specific, not repo specific. I imagine someone could have a "build.log" to view the build output in some specific way that hooks up to a mini taskbar app or some other random shit.

I've personally added some files that don't relate to the project at all and has no reason for being inside a .gitignore and I've had to add it many times.
