The One Install Folder to Rule Them All makes it very easy to install stuff.
Separate folders would be messy in a different way, then we'd need folders for:


actually, frei0r defines their own plugin installation path [1], which makes
it easy to share frei0r plugins between multiple host applications (which i
think is more interesting that putting them into ~/pd-externals/ where nobody
but Pd will find them)

i'm not aware of such a thing for freeframe though.

That makes a lot of sense for Debian and other systems with good package
management.  That doesn't really apply for Mac OS X and Windows...

i think it makes a lot of sense for any operating system:

people should drop externals into ~/pd-externals/ so any version of pd can find them.

people should drop frei0r plugins into ~/.frei0r-1/lib/foo/ (ah finally an installation path that does not clutter my home directory), so any frei0r enabled application can find them.
