I don't know about OS X (although it seems other tools use the XDG dirs on there, too), but the various XDG directories map cleanly onto standard Windows directories - AppData and such. I don't know whether Windows users expect things to live there or not, but its apparently helpful for eg: storing data in roaming profiles.
