I'll have to disagree with this statement. Dropping all your files in
you Desktop directory puts all the files ON the Desktop, which quickly
becomes a mess.  Regardless of whether it's a new directory at the base,
or a new directory under your User directory, you should at least have a
dedicated directory to put the files.  I'm not discussing the merits of
one place over the other, just that simple organization is a good thing.

Put it wherever you want, but at least keep it organized.  Dropping
everything in Desktop is not organized.
