Should I install files into the user home directory?

I have an application taking some command-line parameters. These parameters could be stored into a config file. This file resides inside the users ~/.config directory. I like to provide a default config with some reasonable settings or at least some comments while installing my application. Is it good practice to install files there? Should only the user put files into this directory? Should the application itself create the config if it's not there?
