Every time this is mentioned, people say "shut up shut up shut up, nobody wants hierarchies". Obviously it's dogma. But if you have to keep saying it... I am probably not a "regular user", but I got a job about a year ago defined by and intended for regular users, and one of the major parts of it was managing emails in a departmental account, using (you guessed it) hierarchical folders, and another was managing project documents in SharePoint, using (what appear to be) hierarchical folders. I'm aware that people will tell you not to do the latter in SharePoint, that it's not really designed to be used like a filesystem, just use lists, etc. But purely from an anthropological viewpoint, I see how people shove everything on a shared drive, and then they try to move it to something like SharePoint and recreate a folder structure. So, you know, it's not about what I want, but it's an objective fact people do want hierarchies, even when other people don't want them to. Google is pervasive, but it's not all of computing.
