Good point, although for me this is a good argument for the opposite
of what you intend.
I want to be able to share my homes, but i do not want to share
configurations. Different versions of programs behave differently.
With XDG I can separate my data from my configuration. Thats it, i can
have my pdfs and photos and downloads separated from my configuration.
You could argue that I could have a directory under my Desktop called
stuff, to pour my personal data only there and treat that separately.
I much rather go with the standard :)
