I hate the way a lot of tools nowadays assume it's okay to just create a new directory in the user's home. For instance, this tools create ~/.import-cache. Why doesn't it use a subdirectory in ~/.cache? What's the next step? ~/.import-config? And then ~/import-tmp? This is just getting out of hand. There are places where your tool can store config and cache data, use them.
