This!
I’m fine with it, I actually appreciate the logic and simplicity behind it, but the amount of times I’ve tried to explain why “folders” on S3 keep disappearing while people stare at me like I’m an idiot is really frustrating.
(When you remove the last file in a “folder” on S3, the “folder” disappears, because that pattern no longer appears in the bucket k/v dictionary so there’s no reason to show it as it never existed in the first place).
