I'm of two minds on this one. In some situations, I'd really enjoy having scripts automatically synchronized across the machines I use. In others, I don't want that (e.g. I have some scripts installed at work that specifically target sites I only can use at work, I don't really want those installed at home).
Ultimately I fear that the complexity (both back end, and UI if it isn't purely automatic, and I can already see people asking for all sorts of knobs to tweak) is large, perhaps too large to outweigh the utility. The idea of syncing the preference values throws another major monkey wrench into the works. But it's worth discussing further.
