Dear lusers,

DON'T put your valuable irreplaceable work products in /Applications!!! And YES, the Matlab folder IS in /Applications!!! ARGH!!!!

Sincerely,
person who tried to back up your old computer

On my Windows system, I try to put all of the files I use in folders in /random. That makes backing up, switching computers much simpler, but there are still programs that insist upon using their special directories for files, so I still have to hunt them down.
