Indeed. RiscOS embraced the file/folder metaphor in a way that modern UIs could really stand to learn from.

I really wish someone would pick up and modernize the ROX Desktop -- which is the Acorn RISC OS UI, on top of Linux.

http://rox.sourceforge.net/desktop/

It would partner really well with a distro such as GoboLinux or possibly even sta.li.

I think it'd be a good fit for Hello [0], AppDirs and AppImages being very closely related, but I don't think probonopd agrees, sadly.
