> I'm still not buying the "searching is better than organizing" line
From what I see around me, though, most people just do not have any digital organizing skills whatsoever. It's honestly exceptional that I meet someone who has files going back more than five years and those files are not on their desktop in a "previous computer" directory; and even that category of people includes only those with tech friends that helped them move the data over and set the new system up.
I don't disagree with you, but we might just be the minority.
- eloisius 5y agoI agree with GP, and I'll pat myself on the back for having pretty damn well organize data going back over ten years, which has come with me over four computers. I still want powerful search on top of that, but I'm usually much more efficient at locating my own data than Spotlight is. Back when I had an MP3 collection, it was the same. I had a well-organized folder structure and it felt easier manage than Spotify. I recognize that us power users are a minority, but I really wish there was a shop out there that would build software for us instead of everyone converging towards "user-friendly."
