OK, sorry, now I understand the problem! If this is what you mean by "clutter" it is very poor engineering indeed! Unbelievable - you should mail the developers and tell them! *Yes* you should definitely change it! I'd do it like this: Do a grep for any reference to .emacs.d in the spacemacs source and instalation scripts, Makefiles etc. If it is a variable somewhere, change it, to .spacemacs.d - and if it isn't, change every occurence. Then you might need to tell spacemacs to look there, as well. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
