Yeah, no. The author's suggestion is reminiscent of the way Windows apps tend to dump their icons and directories straight onto the Desktop. It creates a God-awful mess that effectively hides anything the user tries to put there. Imagine what your home directory would look like if you did 'mv ${HOME}/.cache/* ${HOME}'. No thank you. App developers should not clutter my home directory with visible application-specific subdirectories. That's a fast way to get your application kicked to the curb.
