Definitely. Or, use a folder hierarchy (this is what I do for all

The reason I went the folder route was that it was easier for the
user to find it. Furthermore, it made integration with .mac
syncing a snap; I just had to specify the root "My Company" folder.
Agreed. I know it's still the offically recommended way, but in my
years of OS X usage I have yet to warm up to com.company.product
style filenames. If nothing else, it makes it next to impossible to
use type selection in the Finder.
I wish they would revisit that decision for OS X 10.5. Folder
hierarchies would be fine with me. Then again, I honestly cannot
remember one instance where two OS 9 programs tried to take the same
preference file name. It just didn't happen in practice.
