Why in 2018 do we still have lousy file managers?

• ygra 8y ago
  Because for most people file management and document management are kinda the same, so we end up with tools that are barely capable document managers that end up exposing all kinds of details about the underlying storage mechanism and both are kinda iffy. You cannot reliably do document management atop of files while keeping file managers happy and the subset of document management tasks that can be done at the file level is kinda limited as well. So we get some weird hybrid that's horrible to use and still incapable of many interesting tasks.
