There's a lot of hate in the "creates obnoxious directories/files where
they are unwated over and over" category.  From Gnome spewing ~/Desktop
which I never use, to old windows things I used to use which created
some misinformed TEMP of their own in C:\  (eg C:\STUPID.TEMP) to
various tos utilities that would create index files in every directory..
I understand the mac finder still drops a turd in every directory it
touches.

I really wish filessystems supported the "no such file/directory may be
created, EVER" feature to allow me some way to fight back against
binaries I have little control over.  

Hmm... This gives me an idea for FUSE.
