Takes you to the roaming subfolder though

Which contains 90% of what you search. Then just press backspace, and you reach the appdata folder.

Most configs should be in the roaming directory, since you'd usually expect them to roam between computers on a domain. The local directory is only for stuff that doesn't make sense to sync to other computers - things like caches, configs specific to that individual PC, etc.

Not that it matters for home users, as home users generally aren't using Active Directory with roaming profiles.

Tell that to the developers. At this point I'm sure they are just rolling a dice to decide where they should put things.
