"scary concept like 'file system'." I find that somewhat ironic considering it was meant to be intuitive and relate to the real world concept of Document,Files and Folders. But when the real world connection begins to be broken I can see how it becomes scary.

The problem is that in the real world managing documents, files and folders is a full time job for some people.

If documents, files and folders were intuitive and efficient, you wouldn't have relatively huge administrative staffs at medical clinics, real estate offices, banks, law offices, government institutions, schools, et cetera.
