>Yes, OpenSSH isn't a 'desktop' program, but there are dozens of desktop programs which use it as a backend. Forget Linux, for a moment: it creates `.ssh`on Windows. Windows doesn't have dot-files, and it never had. This is arrogance. I would say this is rather consistency accross OS. Every openssh user knows where to find its config regardless of the OS, if it follows XDG, windows guidelines or if it is running on Haiku, SerenityOS, Redox or RiscOS. There are plenty of windows specific ssh clients that follow Microsoft guidelines.
