The guidelines for Windows developers kinda suck tbh. Maybe it's better these days, but plenty of weird legacy software behaviour can be blamed on MSDN.

I hate it. I think a lot of devs who write cross-platform open-source software just use the %userprofile% automatic env variable to dump dotfiles in Windows since it can basically directly replace $HOME. In my opinion using something like %localappdata% is definitely preferred.
.android
is either from the Android SDK, or possibly Android Studio so blame either Google or IntelliJ. .vscode
is Visual Studio Code which is made by Microsoft so your guess is as good as mine on that one. .eclipse
is Eclipse and is a Java IDE approximately the age of dirt and might actually pre-date the AppData folder existing. .ssh
is OpenSSH and has been around long enough on the *nix side of things that it might pre-date both AppData and the XDG folder conventions. Not sure about most of the rest.
This is why i never use the default folders, I will always make my own elsewhere.
If you’re on a Windows box, the apps you’re calling out are assuming some level of FHS or XDG compatibility, neither of which are Windows things.
If you’re on a mac, macOS uses its own thing but can play well with dotdirs. However, you’ll find a mix of assuming XDG and weird macOS storage locations depending on how the tool determines storage location priority.
If you’re on Linux, there are too many standards.
Though, XDG says you need a .config/|.local/... fallback, if the variables are not set.
I mean... those are hidden by default
Who actually keeps hidden folders hidden? It's like the first box I check when I open a file explorer for the first time.
I don't think so. If they were, they'd look shaded like the AppData folder does.
They have a dot in front. Means they are not shown my default, not even in cli
It's frustrating when apps apply Linux-specific behavior to other platforms. No windows apps should be just throwing hidden folders into the user directory!
I began using SMPlayer, which uses MPV, and yeah, it was confusing having to mess around in %localappdata%. But unironically, having to do so kinda prepared me for the switch to linux, what with getting used to using the filesystem.
