IMHO separate files are fine but it would've been nice to
a) have a place other than $HOME to store these files and
b) a standardized plain text format
May still be worth doing.

This could've been avoided if there was a convention about
where to store per user per app settings & possibly state. On
one of my Unix machines I have over 200 dotfiles.
One of the things I think Windows did right was to have one
place where all configuration information is kept. Sure,
you can argue about the implementation details, but Windows
doesn't have configuration files all over the place.
