And there's just no "real" pressing need to convert and potentially lose user-settings/plugins in an upgrade (or create a one-time script to copy stuff to the new location). Maybe someday it will change, but it's just not high on the list of priorities at the moment.

Sorry
that was just me being random. I happened to notice that at the same time I noticed there was no way to override the settings dir. (And I was bemused to see Qt hasn't figured out cross-platorm config dirs yet.)
Whether either is *necessary*, I won't venture to say. I agree once it's been used you shouldn't break everyone's settings just to conform to more "proper" standards.
