The multiple references to Microsoft being unable to follow their own design are shocking. If even the developers dogfooding can't find these conventions, how can they expect the peanut gallery to manage?


Additionnally, Microsoft stuff on linux only partially follow XDG guidelines.

For example this should be in .cache:

3.3G .config/microsoft-edge/Default/Service Worker/CacheStorage/

But wait, there is a .cache/microsoft-edge :

608M .cache/microsoft-edge/Default

552K .cache/microsoft-edge/PnaclTranslationCache

But it is deceptively small compared to the one in .config. Not sure what the MS engineer are smocking to be honest but it is good stuff.

Also last time I used visual studio code, I had stuff in .vscode.


Those `Default/Service Worker/CacheStorage/` directory are inherited from Chromium, it's the same for every Chromium code base.


I refer you to the organization diagrams in section 4.2.1.
