Yes, it is nice. Not only that, it's a very common requirement - so
common, in fact, that Apple has established a standard location for just
such a folder:
/Library/Application Support/MyAppName/ - for system-wide support files.
~/Library/Application Support/MyAppName/ - for a particular user's
support files.

Don't search the entire Applications directory or clutter file systems

Apple's guidelines for what goes where can be found in the developer
docs; on my machine, the relevant page is at
