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. 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.
