Devs,
Why does installing go add another entire directory under $HOME. Shouldn't this go under $HOME/.config? Moreover, why create it by default?
After all the hard work that has been done to prevent the sprawl
Speaks of a most unkempt developer mentality, and there used to me even more of it. But even if the (filthy) habbit is less widespread today I still hold that if a folder has other folders in it then it should contain only other folders, making for a clean file-managment environment.
in $HOME and moving all config/support files to $HOME/.config, this seems like a step backwards.
Can this go somewhere else (no pun intended...)
