It seems that Adam was not against the env settings per project.
What he said is that env settings PER project should be set in one
setting page. He said "all environment" but his intention might be
"all environment per project".
But I'm against the concept of unifying every env vars in one place.

I agree.
Env vars for plugin process and builder/debugger env vars could be
different. Plugins should provide its own env setting page and that's
why we will put env setting widget in platform/util.
