That's not true, there are quite a few apps which do so (parts of GTK 
+, Totem and XFCE use it, just to name some). And actually I prefer  
that place, because it helps remove the clutter from my home.

To follow the standard, it shouldn't even be a hard-coded ~/.config,  
but use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME instead with ~/.config as a fall-back if that  
environment variable is not set.
