Personally I don't like the idea of "image" based computing very much. I mean, it's fine in a lot of circumstances, but the file system provides a nice broadly compatible database that is consistent across programs.

I think the need for such a well defined and accepted user organizable data store isn't going away regardless of the underlying storage medium.

I like that my file system can be reasoned about in very concrete ways. I'm okay with using a tag based system like gmail, but I find it very flat and more difficult to organize vs traditional hierarchy of folders.

And btw, GET OFF MY LAWN!
