It is interesting that the freedesktop people, who are sort of becoming

New apps are now tending to keep their config cruft under
~/.config/<appname>, which is a bit similar to ~/Library/blah

I think I wasn't clear in my hatred.

I like having all my configurations in one directory.  As someone else
mentioned, it is easier to keep things under revision control that way.

I just want said directory to be invisible to a normal 'ls'.  '.config'
is great.  'Library' is mildly irritating (or would be, if it was the
only required directory--as it is, with it being just one of many, it is hateful).
