I switched (long ago) from .emacs to init.el. The reason was just
having one top-level directory (.emacs.d) in my home directory
where all "the other local emacs-y stuff" goes.

I also separated custom.el out, to give customize an own file to
chew on: it's happier this way :-)

(I have lots of other things in .emacs.d, neatly packaged in different
little boxes -- oops, there they are, again ;-)

Cheers
