I feel like I have to defend the current approach here. The .user files 
are named .user because they are user specific - that is, they are not 
meant to be shared between users! The very same is true for the session 
files.

The idea behind this is that QtCreator is (primarily) an editor, not a 
build system. You want to use QtCreator to work on your project - great! 
Your colleague is a die-hard emacs fan ... well, he should be able to 
just work on the project too. Same goes for Visual Studio, Eclipse ... 
Forcing anyone who wants to compile your code to use a specific editor 
in a specific version is IMO a very bad idea.

Now one can argue that qmake needs better documentation, or lacks some 
functionality when it comes to project dependencies ... but that's 
another issue then.

Regards

Kai

NOT an (active) QtCreator developer, just a happy user
