I would like to propose the removal of the $HOME/bin directory from the default setup. It clutters the user's home in exchange for very little gain in some very specific individual workflows.
For those who need an easy and user-oriented directory in $PATH, $HOME/.local/bin is already configured by default.
You probably mean "user-oriented" in the sense of per-user, but I think that ~/.local/bin is more a place for programs to install commands without root privileges. As a user, that place is not for me. If I want to install commands, I put them in ~/bin instead of the hidden ~/.local. (Hidden = not for me.) So I think they serve different purposes: ~/.local/bin for commands installed programmatically, e.g. via pip, ~/bin for commands installed manually by the user, usually by simply putting a file there.
