I think originally the default installation folder (on Windows and
Linux, no installer per se on Mac) installed into a folder simply named
/some/path/[Cc]handler. We then changed it at least on Windows to
include the version number, as far as I recall because we wanted to
protect users by not accidentally overwriting their old Chandler before
they were able to export their collections and settings.

I am asking if we should reconsider, and make the default again just the
name Chandler.

We've seen some bugs now where a user had installed some older version
like 0.7alpha4 and when they went to install 0.7.0.1 we actually offered
to install into the alpha4 folder. Now this shouldn't happen, but if it
does, it makes for a pretty confusing situation (running 0.7.0.1 from
0.7alpha4 folder). We've had some confusion about versions in bug
reports because of this, too.
