That is not user-friendly." Stefan agreed with the request, and suggested ~/.emacs.d. However, the request was about Emacs's behavior on Microsoft Windows. On GNU and other non-Microsoft platforms, Emacs already satisfies the request, because it relies on its invoker to specify where the debugging information will go, and in practice this approach works reasonably well on these platforms. Stefan's comment, in context, does not imply that Emacs should change its behavior on these platforms.
