What really annoys me though is how the app insists on moving itself

On the contrary; try splitting /Applications up by function and then watch Apple's own updates screw up (I ended up with multiple broken copies of Preview that way once). The Apple way is clearly to throw everything into /Applications. :(
I've been symlinking/aliasing stuff into a shadow tree under /Applications and sticking that tree in the Dock. Maybe there's a way to user-configure Lion's Launchpad for folders (my guess is dragging icons on top of each other a la iPhone/iPad) that will survive updates, but in general I just assume Apple "knows what's best for me" and forces it on me and I have to go around it to get a sensible organization.
