Is there any easier and smarter way of doing this?
Take a look at network-manager. You can switch between different
profiles.

IIRC wpasupplicant can handle multiple networks. Just put the different
networks in a conf file, point /etc/network/interfaces to this file and
it *should* do the rest. No need to enter anything unless the keys change.

So if I were to go to an internet cafe, I would need to put that
network's configuration in the conf file as well, wouldn't I?
Yes, but the OP talked about three different but frequently used
networks, for this I think wpasupplicant would be better.
And is
that conf file writable only by root?
I'm not sure, but as you can put the conf file anywhere I suppose it may
be possible to put it in home and make it user editable. Untested though :)
