Description

(couldn't reopen #1442)

Use a system-specific location for QGIS plugins and other generated user support files (IOW, move the ~/.qgis folder). For example ~\\Application Data\\qgis in Windows XP, and ~/Library/Application Support/QGIS on OS X.

See #1442 for details and previous discussion.

Folders should be versioned. ~\\Application Data\\qgis2 and ~/Library/Application Support/QGIS2. Or better, .../qgis/2 and .../QGIS/2.

Isn't this currently the case? It is on Windows and the other platforms.

I think version should only be used when the format of the configuration changes between versions. Otherwise it's only an annoyance to force config separation among versions.
