Dotfiles being hidden is a UNIXv2 mistake (2012)
I am increasingly exasperated by apps that do not follow the XDG specification for config at this point. Having a ton of dotfiles sitting in the root of the home directory is just a maintenance nightmare on every level.I've gone so far as to keep my config directory visible -- ~/.config is a symlink to ~/config, which actually holds all my config, conveniently a git repository in itself for easy portability and tracking.
