> /usr/.local to /usr/local? If not, then why prefer ~/.local to ~/local?
Because unlike a home directory, users don't frequently perform directory listings or tab completion of /usr/. For a frequently used personal directory one wants the minimum of noise.
Glad someone around here knows actual facts about the statistics of using "ls" :-). Can you point to published user studies about this? If not, let me just say that I perform directory listings of /usr a whole lot more than my home directory.
Um, isn't this all argument about what color to paint the shed?
