Yes.

_my_ directory structure will certainly look differently. Jack has yet
another one, Joe a third and Mary a fourth.


People who use Linux for their desktop usually enjoy one thing: That
they can sort things according to _their_ needs, not according to
whatever some "expert" in Redmond has prescribed.


Define the roles, but don't define the directories. If I want my
downloads in ~/Downloads/ and not in ~/content/downloads/ there is no
reason not to allow me that.


Plus, I still don't dig your "content" idea. First, it's a marketing
buzzword abstraction with zero meaning for regular folks. Two, are you
kidding me? How much "non-content" do you think I store in my $HOME to
give "content" it's own subdirectory?
