I like to do this for my main Go path (I use per-project ones as needed), since I want ~/bin and ~/src (the former is where all of my personal binaries go, and the latter is where all of my personal source trees go). I guess I don't really mind that there's a ~/pkg — I might mind quite a bit more if I ever used a GUI file manager, but I never do that.
