I think there are different ways of working. I find your approach perfect=
ly=20
valid, and you make a good case... ...for a certain kind of people. I, fo=
r=20
example, like to have things in very flat hierarchies, and I rely on=20
well-chosen filenames and the tab key to get around quickly between the f=
iles=20
I use. Of course, if you want to visualize that it is a complete mess. So=
 I=20
would not like to have my $HOME be the desktop. At the same time, I can=20
imagine people for whom this would be the best that can happen.

Just my 0.02EUR
Cheers,
Wolfgang
