A comment on An Irrational Fear of Files on the Desktop.

Desktop is literally just the tmp dir for my home directory. If I scp stuff from another box, Desktop.

If I'm not sure what will happen to a project (just a play app or will become a real app), new folder in desktop and work from there.

I do dislike it becoming > 10 folders just for the sheer scan-ability of things.

Oh and there's a link to a wireless printer there too!

Same here. When I'm working on something of which I'm not yet sure where it should end up, it's on the desktop. Anything that fits into a number of predefined categories/projects goes into the Documents folder.
