The directories are also hidden. That does make it hard to navigate
there. I know you can un-hide hidden files, but I view the hidden
attribute as useful - just badly misused in this case, unless you
assume that these directories are intended to be left alone by the
user.

Sorry, I had drifted slightly off topic here. I don't have a problem
with user-specific extensions going in appdata, on the presumption
that we're talking code only (and excluding something obscure like
distutils' distutils.cfg file).
