I agree that prefs don't belong in Application Support, but the
"defaults" command line tool? Huh...? How is that relevant to our
end users?
There are certainly compelling reasons to use NSUserDefaults, and
I'd even consider that "compatibility with Property List
Editor.app" is one such reason. But I don't think it's common
practice to use the "defaults" tool, unless you're doing hacks from
Mac OS X Hints or something :)
So you're advocating breaking system functionality just because you
think that people don't use it. I use defaults and I'm a user.
