3 questions about your coding habits

1. When you're working on stack files, do you always keep them somewhere 
in your Home folder, or run with admin privileges and keep them 
somewhere else (e.g. Applications)?

2. Do you regularly switch among different OSes, and if so how do you 
sync your files (drag-and-drop, rsync, OwnCloud, or something else), or 
do you bypass syncing altogether by mounting a shared volume?

3. If you do sync among multiple OSes, do you maintain the same paths to 
your stack files on each system relative to your home folder?
e.g.
Mac:
/Users/rg/SomeProject/MyStack.livecode
Linux:
/home/rg/SomeProject/MyStack.livecode

If the latter, then specialFolderPath("home") works as a way of storing 
relative paths for multi-OS workflows in a tool I'm working on....
