If I were you, I'd rename the old /Developer folder. I don't know whether the official-release installer lets you choose and name the folder that receives Xcode 4.1.
In fact, I'd be very grateful if someone would tell me.
People with legacy projects depend on it.
Also (some) developers, like me, who want their apps to be backward compatible to 10.5 or earlier.
Apple repeatedly says that applications compiled against the 10.6 or 10.7 SDKs are backward-compatible to any earlier Mac OS X, so long as you stick to the earlier API. This is true, as far as it goes.
However, it was always a useful trick to set the active SDK to an earlier version for a build or two, so you could be sure you weren't relying on API that wasn't available in the latest SDK. Apple people, at least publicly and on this list, have been so pointedly obtuse on the question that I wonder if they haven't been instructed not to acknowledge it. One could speculate (and it would be only speculation) on why that is.
