…simple initial "put stuff in a folder…"

Apple's goal with iCloud (and iOS) is to eliminate the concept of a folder in the filesystem. Of course it won't work well for you. You want folders and files.

I'd be fine with syncing "data" vs. files, too, but no apps I use or care about support iCloud.

iCloud has been available to end users for three months. Give it time to accrete features, just like iOS.
