Missing comparison to the established appdirs library #2

Almost 10 years before config-path was released there has been appdirs library.

I think README should explain:

reasons for creating a new library
the important differences between the two

barry-scott commented 3 years ago

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I looked at appdirs and found it was not suitable for my needs. The answer to both points would be the same that config-path is usefully difference citing why. I will try and find the time to review the README in light of you observation.

Note to self: Was it the lack of OS sensitive support for domain names as app-id that is missing from appdirs?

Or s/~appdirs~/platformdirs/. appdirs is deprecated but I had the same question for its successor platformdirs, how this config-path lib compares to platformdirs.
