With Quanta there is a significant difference than KDevelop for projects:
Quanta projects are generally published as source (HTML, PHP, etc) whereas 
KDevelop projects are generally compiled.
Most Quanta users would probably copy the whole project directory onto their 
webserver.  If we go for option 2, users would have difficulty removing all 
project files prior to publishing - unless we have a publish option...  
Project files could potentially contain sensitive information (fish 
user/passwords?, or include files not for display by the webserver.)

I am sure many users currently publish the whole directory, but some might 
remove the project file, and other sensitive files, before uploading.  If we 
have many files, it would make it very hard for a user to manually remove 
files prior to publishing.

Just my thoughts
