On macOS, xs-dev puts all its downloaded directories and generated files (xs-dev-export.sh) in ~/.local/share/. After installing support for several devices, that results in many directories owned by xs-dev (moddable, esp32, esp, pico, etc). Since ~/.local/share/ is of a shared location, maybe instead there should be a single xs-dev directory that contains all of the downloaded directories and generated files?

It might not matter for functionality but it would be much more clean when browsing the file system which pieces are managed by xs-dev.

FWIW, this is how it is currently implemented in the Windows setup. There we use %USERPROFILE%\xs-dev\ to store everything.
