Thinking about this a little bit more, it doesn't really make sense to dump everything XDG_CONFIG_HOME... maybe XDG_DATA_HOME is better suited? or should the files be divided over config & data (that would complicate things) |

Modified
get_default_core_dir()so that it respects the XDG specification and does not clutter people's home directories with.platformiofolders. See issue #2872.I left Windows alone since they don't really do XDG - I believe they have their own conventions, e.g.
%APPDATA%and stuff like that. Platformio also doesn't adhere these, but I'll leave that to someone else to figure out.Besides that, I also had to modify
test_config.pyso that it would not freak out because of the changes inoptions.py.More info about the XDG specification:
