I noticed this as well, and this is one of the reasons I kept sticking to Dev-C++ for so long. It's nice to have many options when you need them: targets, releases, folder to separate different kinds of files... Great for large projects. But when you don't need them, it's simply too much.
I do a lot of experimenting and need to create MANY small test projects, with maybe 3 or 4 files. In those cases I don't need to have releases and I definitely don't want C::B to create 4 subfolders in every project.
Yes, I do know that you can disable all this on C::B, but it gets tiring to do it every time. I would rather have a simplified flavour of the "empty project" that works the opposite way: Give me all settings at the simplest by default and let me activate extras as needed, instead of making me think the more complex configurations when I'm just trying to keep it simple.
