Of course, but your home directory that you read with "ls -A" does.
Putting configuration in ~/.config makes it easier to find amid all
that noise.
That said, as Junio wrote before[1]:

That's what vim does --- its main configuration file is ~/.vimrc, and
there are also some supporting files in ~/.config/vim/.
Wouldn't that be a good place to start?
