In general ~/.config is only for config; data should be in ~/.local/share, but a lot of programs get this wrong and abuse ~/.config using it for everything. Even worse are the programs which use it to cache runtime data; I should be able to add the entire ~/.config to a dotfiles repo without accidentally including personal data (other than that which might reasonably appear in a config file) or ephemeral data.
