As a first datapoint, ".dir-settings.el" is ugly as hell to my eyes. I wouldn't dream of having Emacs-specific files in a source tree and not naming them ".emacs-WHATEVER". > Adding more knobs to turn just increases the complexity of emacs... You could use the same argument against savehist-file, bookmark-default-file, recentf-save-file, etc. The fact is, we have lots of that kind of variables because configuration file's names is something people cares about a lot (witness a recent help-emacs thread were the OP wanted to change not only .emacs.d/, but the name of .emacs / init.el).
