You generally only want to see them if you're looking for them. Otherwise, they're just annoying. $HOME is typically extremely cluttered with hidden files on Linux, and I'd hate to be seeing all of those hidden normally. If I'm looking for them, I want to be able to see them and access them, but I definitely don't want to see them normally. Now, shoving them all in a .config or config directory would be a big improvement regardless, and maybe then hidden files wouldn't really be necessary.
Exactly; there should definitely /config (for /all/ user definable config files). That's one of the numerous points showing how the std Unix filesystem hierarchy is designed for sysadmins, not for users ;-)
