Until you have someone not familiar with your system do something with
it. Ever try to help someone with a Windows problem after they had
renamed things like My Computer, or Network Neighborhood? Not a pretty
sight.

Differences for difference's sake can sometimes be a bigger pain.


Mind you, on my home systems, I have a /fridge (where I keep all the
cool stuff) and I mount devfs on /devices. I do keep $HOME directories
on /home.

The FHS was also aimed at people like OS architects, not so much end
users. This makes it easier for you, the end user, to shift from one FHS
compliant platform to another.
