Just started to write some specs on this last night. I'm going to share
it for discussion soon.

Depends what you're talking about there - every released version of
NetBeans has its own user folders.
In terms of development versions of the IDE, I generally find myself
launching with something like netbeans --userdir /tmp/nb112 a lot!
It would be good to think about how we handle userdirs, migration,
etc. quite broadly. One bit of the versioning puzzle that is not
templated and still requires hardcoding per release is location of
previous version userdir when starting a new version. There is a
pending PR there - https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1530
Personally I think it would be better to consider better CLI and UI
options for cleaning userdirs and migrating from different versions
during the 11.3 timeframe. So your suggestion++ :-)
Best wishes,
Neil
