As I said, you can already share settings, you just can't easily
synchronize them *if* they change.

It adds code complexity, plus backwards compatibility would make the
code more ugly. Having all project settings stored in the same file is
neater and easier to understand for users. It makes the manual more
complex, maybe helping a little to obscure the important stuff.
I could bring up the Eclipse argument to say that worse is better. The
more use cases Geany caters to, the more Eclipse-like it will be.
