My/Pref/Dev/Tool/Prefer XDG-Compliant CLI Tools

• Prefer XDG-Compliant CLI Tools

  • Prefer a CLI/Tool that follows the XDG base directory spec: config under XDG_CONFIG_HOME, data under XDG_DATA_HOME, cache under XDG_CACHE_HOME, rather than scattering dotfiles directly in $HOME.
  • A tool that ignores XDG isn't disqualified on its own — this is a preference, not an absolute — but XDG compliance is a point in its favor when comparing otherwise-similar tools.
