I use ~/bin/. The logic of placement of user scripts and binaries in dot (aka hidden) directories totally escapes me.
The way I understand it, ~/.local/bin isn't for your own scripts and binaries, but rather scripts and binaries managed by "user-space" package managers like Python's pip, Ruby's gem, and so on.
That's also how I understand it and to be honest, I would hate it if pip and friends would put their stuff into ~/bin ;-) ~/bin is *my* space for putting things.
Still somewhat dubious that this is hidden, but at least you're not meant to deal with it directly. You just install packages and the commands magically appear in your PATH.
...once I found out *how* they made it to magically appear in $PATH, it was ok, but at first I was a bit confused... ;-) -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman
