With XDG adherence applications might comply and put files scattered around the various XDG directories. Before XDG, applications that pissed all over my $HOME were rare, applications generally played nice and kept only on dot file or directory. Backups are even harder now because I have to cherry pick what to backup from even more places. I don't backup all of $HOME because it's loaded with junk I don't want to waste backup space on.
