Some of us really fucking hate software that forgets state. Despite 
what you may have learned from such sucky graphical file managers as 
Explorer, Nautilus and so on, windows should stay where you put them, 
in the view state you left them, and with icons inside them in the 
order you left them.

If it takes a dotfile or two a directory to make that happen, then tough.

Perhaps you should look at the amount of crap Linux apps spew into 
~/.* before you really go off on hidden files?

working up to a rant on all the shit that the Finder inexcusably forgets;
