Hi Devin, I've always used the location you mentioned for OSX with a folder for even the company name of the application name within it.. For Windows, I use specialFolderpath(26) which I think resolves to /Users/AppData/Roaming (maybe different on different versions of Windows.
Not sure there's a standard place on Linux but I think I've just used the users home directory with a company/application folder within that.
