That's a good idea; it doesn't require buy in from the tool developers.

- jonnycomputer 5y agoBut buy in is worth it. Consider the related issue of every damn app not respecting a users home directory and polluting it with every file. But that's a problem the XDG Base Directory Specification was designed to solve. And things are better now, though you often have to explicitly set the XDG variables to get some applications to respect the standard. But just having a standard pulls people and organizations in to follow it.
