PS - I also run my eu install from userspace in my home directory - sacrilege I know. But since no one else uses the computer, who cares.
This isn't sacrilegious, it is entirely appropriate. Especially if you didn't have root access on your machine (which you do, but still).
I tend to install stable-ish development builds to /usr/local, and I have previous 4.0 releases in my home dir. I have a special bin dir that's in my path, with binaries symlinked as, e.g., eui405. So it's really easy to test things with older versions.
On machines that aren't my main dev machine, I usually have the Debian package of the latest release installed. The server running the forum has the Debian package installed.

On my Mac, I just put some somewhat stable eubins into $HOME/bin. I haven't yet installed system-wide because I don't even have "stable-ish" development builds yet.
On my old Linux laptop, I just installed from the .deb so it put Euphoria into /usr/bin, /usr/lib, and /usr/share/euphoria. I think that I did a couple of builds into my Dropbox folder.
On Windows Euphoria is installed wherever it gets put. I don't use my Windows box much for stuff other than gaming. I did do a Windows install to my Dropbox folder so that I can run it from my work computer (no admin privileges).
For my development, I've created my repositories on my Dropbox so I can access the source from any machine (even work). I keep build directories there too, but I have them set to be ignored by Dropbox so they aren't cloned to every machine.
