I can understand why one might have author specific dictionaries if one reads a lot of fantasy, but why would anyone want Rowling's dictionary active when checking one of Prattchet's books - do they play quidditch on Discworld?

The Manage user dictionaries button can be accessed via Edit->Preferences->Editor settings->Manage spelling dictionaries when the Spell checker is active.

I occasionally add a word to the wrong user dictionary, which can only be rectified by manually removing it from that user dictionary, and sometimes I have the wrong user dictionaries activated. So, it would be nice to have that button (or the one preceding it) within the Spell Checker itself.
