I strongly, strongly disagree. Qt Creator plugins are not Qt plugins. 
They may link to the Qt libraries and they may be loaded using Qt's 
plugin system, but they're not Qt plugins -- they're application 
plugins, specific to the application. You wouldn't expect, say, Firefox 
plugins to be installed in the GTK plugins directory. You wouldn't 
expect OpenOffice plugins to be installed in the Java plugins directory. 
Qt Creator shouldn't be any different. It's just an application.
