Hah I was literally just complaining about applications not following the XDG directory spec today.

there's a non-exhaustive list of applications on the archwiki [0] that put their config/data in dotfiles in the home directory. surprisingly, there's also lots of pushback from maintainers of projects who don't want to change this, for whatever excuse they can produce. a Reddit thread has some list of issues where the change is brought up [1].

Anyway, I'll look forward to testing this out.
