Is the flexible directory structure being proposed so that the CLI can "con=
form" to a directory structure defined by the IDE, or so that a user can de=
fine the directory structure and both the CLI and the IDE use it?  I'm an I=
DE developer, but I don't have a lot a sympathy for the former.  The latter=
 is useful.  I don't understand why an IDE should think IT defines the dire=
ctory structure, just like the CLI did prior to this proposal.

Should the platform/plugin save/restore take care of the ability to restore=
 platforms? That way, though the platforms folder is discernable, we do not=
 have to necessarily delete it. The goal of able to re-create a project sol=
ely based on the checked-in information still stays.=20

The user may choose to check in the user specific config if the entire team=
 decides to use that as a project structure. They would not check the user-=
config in cases where individual users use different IDEs.=20

I don't want to dramatically increase the scope of this thread, but I'm won=
dering if this is the opportunity to get the platforms dir to be 100% gener=
ated and discardable between app builds. The goal being that then there is =
a clean line of what devs should check into SCM and what is in their .gitig=
nore file.

It also feels like there should be a slight difference between user-specifi=
c config that doesn't go into a team SCM (my copy of cordova-android is in =
/home/marcelk/customized), and project-specific config that does go into a =
team SCM (the layout of this meta config that describes where the project d=
irs are).

And yes, it should be 100% compatible with today's directory structure.
