A single icon for the Application, resources, drivers , logs and preferences should have been the "Apple" way.

You shouldn't put writable files inside the application bundle for several reasons: 1) Permissions: the application is often owned by someone (e.g. system) other than the user.
2) Each user needs their own set of preferences on a shared machine.
3) Applications can be run from locked media (virtual disks, CDs, read-only servers, ...).

Cheers,

Dave
