Is this so people can edit the plugins? Yes, new plugins via plugindefines.txt. Martin Guetlein did it recently, with difficulty under Windows. But the plugin may be much simpler, e.g. a shorthand for recurring SMARTS pattern. Also a user may need to alter some data (because of errors or improved knowledge). Why else are the data in separate files and not compiled in? Another reason, which is close to my heart but not much used, is to extend OB (formats, ops, etc.) without recompiling, by distributing .obf files. I think the correct writeable folder, for /data only, is %ProgramData% (usually C:\ProgramData).
