Comment 47 for bug 1575053

I may be misunderstanding niemeyer's message, but just to be clear...

"[...] hopefully making it good enough that people[¹] will be excited to use despite the name of a directory not being their preferred one."

What's this now? "People[¹]" covers "everyone except the snap developers" you know. There are best practices for naming configuration files and directories, and they have even become standards. And even if wasn't there's still common sense. Placing a non-hidden directory in everyone's home dir conflicts with all of the above.

"If there's enough support for that, we can put it in the roadmap for sooner rather than later."

Good. Sooner it is then, since this bug report and all its comments clearly shows that people[¹] want it changed.

Btw: Does "no longer affects: snappy" mean that is has been fixed?
