I'd like to vote against this decision. This is a somewhat special
folder and therefor should be hidden. The home directory shouldn't
contain program files/special folders, only files/folders created by the
user himself.

directories in my home directory, because

  1. this disallows me to create a folder with this name by my own for
     whatever use,

  2. it creates a misch-masch of personal folders and program folders,
     which leads to confusion.

I wouldn't mind creating new Templates for my own (even as a user)
instead of making use of this ugly Nautilus behaviour.
