Why start now? And where do you propose all _system config_ files be kept? Should we now be required to search all over the f@#&ing place for them?
KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)
Linux has (inherited from UNIX) a very simple, straight forward and regular way of dealing with the placement of binaries (and elegance of simplicity in $PATH that follows) libraries and configuration. Yes, I realise that with Windows each application has its own folder that contains the binary and libraries, and under DOS (or Windows before the amalgamation into Directory) the .ini file. Oh what a mess, what a proliferation of folders! And to so little benefit other than removing a package by removing a folder. Perhaps that says a lot about how people work in that environment. As Ken says, if you want the way Windows works go back to using Windows. -- Psst! Viral marketing works!
