It would be too simple to use the same folder the program is in.
Like Unix, Like DOS. Where you can find and back them up and fix them when they screw up.

OK. So I will back up that file and see if there is a rogue setting change next time Sigil dies.

IMHO this is the proper location.
Each (PC) user gets their own private preference settings,user_dictionary...

Programs are protected from malware because their contents needs elevated privileged (UAC) to make a change
There is a link to the location in the Preference menu
