> you have to put so many gitignore exceptions and I'm not even talking about the gigs of data all the chromium derivatives put into that folder

Yeah but chrome devs half-assing the trivial xdg spec doesn't mean that xdg sucks - its just not implemented properly.



I think xdg has an issue of being obtuse when I googled it a while ago, it was very confusing, and I didn't find any real definitions. However I didn't look that hard.


Freedesktop standards are nothing if not overly complicated and confusing.


I agree, you didn't look very hard.
