I've never seen anything that promoted the idea of storing non- standard data files in that folder. If there's a good argument for it, please enlighten me.
Many Carbon applications (especially older ones) store preferences in ~/Library/Preferences using custom file formats. This isn't by any means limited to older apps, though - for example, com.apple.dock.db was added in Leopard. :)
Short version, there's never been any requirement on what format you store your preferences in. Using plists simplifies some things, but it isn't mandatory.
