On: Xdg-ninja: checking your $HOME for unwanted files and directories

[wang_li]

I believe the point they are making is that for plenty of tools people don't change any configuration settings. If I haven't changed from the application default setting, why is the application creating a configuration file in my home directory hierarchy?

Yes. That's the point. If i didn't ask for (a config) file, don't create one.

As a developer, I would rather have a default configuration file than hardcode the defaults into my own code, but that is just my opinion.
