It is used to store configuration information by those applications  
which use it. Essentially .config is preferable to every app using  
their own .app file (which can become very disorganized). These files  
are not removed when you remove an application because they are not  
created by the package itself. If there is an app in there you no  
longer have installed, you can also remove its configuration if you  
like, same for an app which you would like to have reset to an  
unconfigured state.
