I used to be a Mac user. Everything stored settings in resource forks and binary. When I moved to Windows, it was weird to have a registry for most things and some things used .ini files that were more useful. It was nice to have user-readable settings even if they were in obscure places and directories.
When I moved to Linux, dotfiles all made a whole lot more sense.
I've helped others learn how to Linux. Windows hides a lot of things in order to make the user experience idiot-friendly. I've had to un-teach them the crap that Windows teaches them.
