Of course, that's an option. I just happen to like symlinking folders that are supposed to be elsewhere to sync in Dropbox. It works for me, so I'm happy. It may not be for everyone. Mind you, it's also faster than Windows copying several gigs over, though linux I believe just tells the inode(s) to move, instead of the whole folder, which makes it much faster.
Anyway, I find it easier to visualize all my files in obvious places, with Dropbox subdirectories/files pointing to my synced data. For the same reason you use SugarSync.
I also symlink the calibre config folder, for use on two Ubuntu 12.04 computers. (Same username, so all the paths are EXACTLY the same, and neither has blown up yet.)
