Since Linux has no such construct by default. Does that make it the most user-friendly?

  KDE's Dolphin creates annoying .directory files.

    I found Krusader to be superior to Dolphin, but that's perhaps I'm used to old two-pane way of file management (Midnight Commander, Norton/Volkov Commander, Windows Commander)

  Many programs do something similar, for example vim creates file~ as backups. Using a graphical file manager, these used to annoy me. After switching to a terminal for file management, I can easily ignore them as if they weren't there.

    What I ended up doing was having vim save backups and temp files to ~/.vim/backup and ~/.vim/tmp by adding this to my .vimrc: set backupdir=~/.vim/backup set directory=~/.vim/tmp Of course these can also be relative paths so you can have a project save these to a local .backup directory too if you want to keep them near the files they relate to.
