I'd rather have it not provide the directories unless they are
actually in use.  Templates for instance is something I haven't used
for many, many years.

It also assumes that you have all your bits in one place, which could
quite possibly be completely wrong; my pictures are in different
locations depending on their context.  Similarly for Documents, I keep
them organised per topic, not all docs under one directory.
