»Normal« in this context by me means the normal way you would expect
unix stuff works, not how GTK is.

GTK has some weird concepts. One other is the use of $HOME, that is
documented in a complete different way as it is implemented in
g_get_home_dir(). Just to name one.

I believe you fully. And the goal should be to find a way for both
workflows.

That would be one way. An other would be to allow to configure that.

Well, it is a other possibility to move data from one application to
another.

Irk, you use the bad e-word addressed to me! I use VI! (Vim currently)
That is a bad style. ;-) ([0])
