I'm the kind of guy who goes through $HOME every once in a while and start looking for workarounds or filing bugs requesting XDG Base Directory spec support. But in this case I can't complain. It's literally about the behavior of the home folder. This one makes complete sense to me. |

I used to be that guy. Now I’m not. Re workarounds: usually that means env vars, but all that crap in env is copied to the execution environment of every single process, which is pretty awful. Re bug reports: usually only a few “that guy”s care at all, sometimes there’s endless debate about whether things go into XDG_DATA_HOME or XDG_CACHE_HOME, the occasional accepted PR requires so much effort I might as well just try to forget about all the garbage sitting in the $HOME.
