Now, half of them are in ~/.config This is better because it means you have to look in more places.

Similarly, things also like to hide state in ~/.cache

If they didn’t then rm -rf .appname would restore it to default settings, and we can’t have that.

I notice you chose to exclusively point out the negative aspects.
