It would be cool to have basically *all* the settings in there.

This makes version control for projects almost impossible. I agree that you want those settings available, but in a separate file would be much better for schematics under version control. I'm not a fan of a million different files either, but a schematic user options file would mean everyone working on a centralised project can have their own local preferences without affecting the schematic in the repository. This way it works for version control, and in a support role someone could forward you both the schematic and schematic user option files. Does this sound like a reasonable case?
