  1. I agree that the dot files were created accidentally. However, the concept of hidden files seem to be worth having (see example of other operating systems implenting various ways to hide files) and if dot-files were a practical way to hide files from view, it was elevated to "feature, not a bug". I think it would have been better to specify stuff like ~/.local and ~/.config a lot faster to avoid filling home directory with random dot-files in long run.
