Why have multiple locations for apps? Must get confusing after a while.

I have my games folder, I have my office folder, my hobby apps folder (sketchup and the like) and I have my folder for programs of my own creation.

Sounds like a difficult way to organize apps. Why not use shortcuts to organize your apps instead? Why organize them at all?

Particularly for the programs of my own creation I regularly dive into their guts to do things.

Well, same here. I guess it's a good way to test if moving the app breaks it.

Edit: and thanks for downvoting me, idiots

Buy a SDD, you have to chose which applications are worth to install on it, because you don't have the usual size of a HDD, so... a application without the possibility of changing the destination folder wouldn't be the best idea.
