If you want it visible, make a visible symbolic link!
Note that the point is moot, since I'm going to accept Christian's PEP, i.e. ~/.local, but this argument "you can make it visible yourself" is bogus. The point of visibility (when it's brought up) isn't that you can make it visible -- you can always do that with ls -a or whatever Finder option. The point is that (in some people's view) the results of an action should be left in plain sight so that the user has clear evidence of what happened.
I'm fine in this case with the counterarguments though, so I'll be accepting the PEP in a minute.
