Doing a git clean is a dick move.

The user clicked an option to "discard" all changes. They then got a very clear pop-up saying that this is destructive and cannot be undone (there's a screenshot in the thread).

I very much understand how one can think this would revert any changes done to files under version control but not delete the ones that are not. I believe this dialog has since been updated to explicitly state that fact.

Yes, the dialog was changed, as part of this linked issue (and maybe again after that; this whole incident is very old). After reading some of the comments on that issue, I agree with the reasoning with some of the commenters that it would be less surprising for that menu option to behave like git reset --hard and not delete tracked files.
