The first time we each had to debug a $PATH search order issue makes this a yes&no answer from me.

There's still a hierarchy and locations... but most of the time we can just ignore it and get on with things.

Yes but that's only in terms of resolution, the interface is flat, i.e you don't explicitly ask for usr/sbin over usr/bin. The differences only become a problem with naming conflicts and misconfigured $PATHs.
