Pi coding agent: config folder is out of place on Linux

This has been frustrating me for a while and is part of why I explore other coding agents.

As many advantages as pi has in some areas, there are definitely areas where I believe the hype to be a bit overstated. While the config folder is, ultimately, not relevant for performance, how this was and is continued to handled is a bit frustrating for me.

They have made it abundantly clear it's not going to change however so I'm looking at how other coding agents perform currently.

LLMs make it gloriously simple to fork and patch and existing repo. If you run into a merge conflict down the line, its a snap to fix too.

Just make the changes you want to your favorite harness and move on.

I think this is a GitHub issue (of course it is) as I'm not able to search for anything atm.

404 on the page, main page: "Cannot retrieve latest commit at this time." [1]. GitHub are you okay?
