I have finally realized why so many people suddenly care about dotfiles in $HOME. I bet they're all using GUI file managers.
So where I never see these things without an `ls -a`, modern linux users are double clicking a folder and have to scroll past hundreds of dotfiles.
Also explains the X in XDG.
