I wouldn't call it a non-unixism (people often have spaces in their home directory name). My reason for doing it is that having a space in the default path makes it obvious when any of the scripts or other code can't handle spaces in paths (a more common problem with shell scripts than C). Think of it like a vaccination ;-)
