Considering that knowledgeable users will be able to set things up as
they choose then the consideration for the less knowledgeable users or
those moving from the other OS's can find things more easily or possibly
back up their needed files this hardly seems to be something to get all
worked up about. When programs look for documents in the same consistent
folder or want to save documents in the same consistent folder it's hard
to argue with the logic of this.
