That's right, I don't want to save my pictures there, or my symlink 
collection, or random stuff I just downloaded. For that reason, I wouldn't 
like it too if $HOME was set as Documents folder, because it isn't.

That would indeed make things clearer, but if all data files go into that 
folder, what do you need $HOME for afterwards, except storing hidden config 
files? If you're replacing it completely for data storage, you might as well 
keep $HOME itself for exactly this purpose. And as you're talking of the 
standard unexperienced user, let's not consider him opening $HOME in Firefox 
and see all his hidden files.

Sorry, I couldn't keep from replying. Seems like there hasn't been said enough 
to simply close the thread.
