Why does Dropbox expect casual users to understand concepts like symlinks in order to sync their desktops (or any existing folder outside of the dropbox directory for that matter)?

Are their plans to make this more intuitive, given this is how you yourself find dropbox most useful?

We don't expect casual users to understand. If there is anything like this built into the basic product, it wont involve anything more than maybe asking if a user wants a feature. Everything should just work.
