Any program which uses its own resource fork to save preferences annoys me
because I have to reformat my hard drive fairly often (apparently I have a
system glitch that occasionally blasts things and wipes out my hard
drive).  When I do so, I lose my configuration... normally, I back up all
my config. files and such before reformatting.

Keeping all of the configuration files in *:System is standard procedure;
however, I'm considering coding my programs to use *:System:Preferences if
it exists (I wouldn't create it myself).
