I've always wondered why they were in ~/Documents and not in
~/Library/Application Support. As others have pointed out, for regular
backups the additional Mbs don't matter that much. My reason for
preferring a Documents folder that contains only "my" stuff is that
makes working on different machines a little easier: if all and only
your data is what is in Document, you need to worry only about keeping
that folder properly synced. (That's why I have problems with
applications that do the opposite of Microsoft and put your data in
Application Support; Devonthink is an example (I know that the location
supposedly can be changed, but that has proven to be problematic for
me.))
