There are many things to take into consideration: Desktop/Embedded/Src/Tools/Documentation/etc, upcoming Qt5 versions 5.0.0/5.0.1/etc, compilers, submodules, etc. The install tree structure affects to the SKD templates and install scripts, and it’s a lot of work to refactor them once they are done, so it would be nice to have the final (or as close to it as possible) install tree structure decided before we start doing the templates.

In the QtSDK installer we had Qt Creator directly in the toplevel directory, which I like pretty much, i.e.

On Win/Lin:
qtcreator
    bin
    lib
    …

On Mac:
Qt Creator.app
