In my case, as I am the only user of this Mac, I just mainly keep 
third-party applications in my ~/Applications folder. I mainly 
reserve the /Applications folder for applications from Apple, or a 
few others I'm afraid to mess with (like Adobe applications and 
Microsoft Office) and a few Utilities that seem to want to be at the 
top level.  I definitely keep all Apple applications in 
/Applications, so they get updated by Software Update. Software 
Update won't look in the ~/Applications folder.
