Your app's bundle isn't named with a reverse domain name, so I
wouldn't do it for the Application Support folder either.
The same thing could be said about preference files too though, and
they're stored using the bundle identifier per default.
The name is also not as stable as the bundle identifier. The name of
the app could, for example, be localized in the Finder. The name of
many apps also include a variable suffix, like a version number, "
Lite", et.c.
Finally, ~/Library is for all intent and purposes off limits for
"normal" users, ie. the type of users who would be confused about a
bundle identifier.
