Agree! Can't happen soon enough. My project Aquameta is one such attempt, trying to rethink the programming stack, and by extension all user data, as relational data instead of files, with the filesystem still there under the hood, but basically as a bootstrapping mechanism to get the database running. Here's an essay about the reasoning and approach: http://blog.aquameta.com/intro-chpater2-filesystem/ http://blog.aquameta.com/intro-chpater2-filesystem/ The TLDR is that the filesystem lacks a sophisticated information model, and doesn't provide mechanisms for defining structures, and we really need to embrace this basic requirement at a systemic level. Boot to PostgreSQL! :)
