I agree.<p>I actually like the hierarchical organisation, and I don&#x27;t like the 10 year usability trend, particularly driven by Microsofts attempts to patch over their horrid structure with even worse workarounds.<p>The solution to learning my mother were to find her documents is not hiding the place 15 levels deep and having 10 symlinks to it.<p>Fast, unobtrusive indexing and a good structure is all that is needed. Humans organise  and memorise things in hierarchies, and while categories is another helpful abstraction they tend to be confusing if they do not point to a fixed position in a hierarchy in my opinion.<p>You can also explore a hierarchy; Not so with a cloud of things connected to a bunch of tags.
