So, let me get this straight. GNOME somehow managed to get the Nautilus 
templates folder into ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs alongside stuff that's 
actually used by more than one application in the same desktop 
environment like the desktop, documents, downloads, pictures, and music 
folders?

My first (sane) impression was that it was something where you drop 
templates for all applications and each application filters by filetype 
for only its own formats but, if I understand you correctly, doing so 
would render Nautilus's New menu uselessly large.

(eg. Suppose everything supported it and I dropped 10 LibreOffice 
templates and 5 Inkscape ones in there.)

Given that I've never seen a file manager other than Nautilus that 
supports parsing a ".hidden" file to hide non-dotfiles, I tend to blame 
GNOME developers' NIH syndrome whenever I see a non-hidden folder in my 
homedir getting regenerated but I don't actually expect to see such an 
impression confirmed in a standard.
