To be honest, it is quite complicated now as well with all of the proprietary software (sh.itjust.works)

Most configs should be in the roaming directory, since you'd usually expect them to roam between computers on a domain. The local directory is only for stuff that doesn't make sense to sync to other computers - things like caches, configs specific to that individual PC, etc.

Not that it matters for home users, as home users generally aren't using Active Directory with roaming profiles.
