because on the desktop files better stay where I put them :)

I remember the place where on the desktop a certain file is, and later
expect it to still be there, i.e. stay there. if you have some kind of
auto-ordering code, it will usually be moved away.

Now if you meant just a "keep-on-grid"/"snap-to-grid" way of operation
which basically just keeps the icons apart enough to not collide, then I
agree, that would be better than totally free positioning :) 

Then again, I didnt really use desktop icons for years (even _where_
they were available)... ;)
