This exactly. My rsync patterns file is littered with dozens of edge cases to capture the configs and ignore state/caches of stuff that doesn't follow XDG. Really dislike the chore of double checking everything and adding new stuff to the list every time I take a backup.

Even worse are those that seemingly follow XDG but not really, like a lot of Electron apps, that just shove config, state and cache in ~/.config.... sigh
