Old PC = Click "preferences" -> click "export settings" -> wait for things to export
New PC = Click "prefences" --> click "import settings" -> wait for things to import
...plugins redownloaded (or last version binaries included in export)
...etc etc et al everything between the orbit of the Sun and the orbit of Pluto (will always be a planet to me)
...nicely packaged in a tar.gz/zip compressed file

"imagine a world where:
...calibre was a containerized portable package file
...or maybe a self contained virtualized app (where you could take your own 'snapshot' before you muck everything up with a 'great idea')
...Where you copied one/two/three files to you usb drive when you wanted to move your entire calibre experience with you"

I did that once. I used Cameyo to virtualize the app in a container. It worked super duper schmancy-fancy! Then there was a Calibre update.
