The only downside I see with hidden files is the following usecase : Tom uses windows, and gives his usb key to Sally Sally plugs the usb key into her linux system, and changes some sorting properties. The file manager creates a .directory (or whatever it's called) file on the usb key. When Tom gets the usb key back, he sees lot of dot files, and doesn't know what they're about. I don't know if dot files are automatically marked as "hidden" in the FAT sense when using a FAT fs on Linux...
