Electron apps suck
At least make them respect XDG directories
Don't store your entire cache and user data in the config dir

@trivernis FWIW, Electron itself should only store the usual embedded-Chromium junk into fixed folders, so it's on the application developer to use the correct directories for application stuff (which is entirely possible, there's off-the-shelf modules for this).

@trivernis (This is not to disagree with the complaint, to be clear; rather to highlight that this is within the power of the developer to get right, so they can't blame Electron for it)
