Sure, but if you&#x27;re browsing the filesystem directly, it looks much cleaner.<p>Remember that MacOS users spend much more time working directly with the filesystem, because (recent developments with Launchpad aside) there&#x27;s no analog to Windows&#x27; Start Menu. Literally everything is done by navigating directly through your hard drive in Finder. So keeping related files nicely bundled together and tidy is a bigger priority.<p>(You can also do neat things, like record whether a file was downloaded from the Internet, and from where -- and use that data to display a security warning when a foreign file is first opened. This would be very cumbersome to implement without extended attributes or resource forks.)
