I'm always excited to see and learn about new and different concepts, but I struggle with two main points: 1. It is not the implementation of a thing that I worry about, but rather how it will be misused. We have a generally good understanding of how end users misuse the current file system hierarchy. Before adopting, or even advocating for, any alternative it would due a huge benefit to sit down and consider the ways in which such a system would be mishandled, abused, and used maliciously by end-users or bad actors. 2. Do the gains outweigh the growing pains? In the event that the potential gains of change seem particularly appealing - and the concerns of point 1 have already been thought out and addressed - are the gains of that change significant enough to follow through on actually doing it? There are many cases where something has been vaguely improved on in some way or another across many industries, but it is a rare thing that the improvements of those changes have justified the time and investment by the participants of that industry as a whole. So: if the primary gain of Digits is to make searching faster, does that gain of search speed outweigh the task of changing a very fundamental aspect of how computers operate today? My personal opinion is "No, but..." There is always room for improvement. I think that if such a system finds more ways to entice people to adopt it, to find more depth and measurable, tangible benefits of adopting it, it will have a much stronger case to make. Speed is great, but we need more than that. --- From my perspective, I have very little issue finding files I need. I take pretty good care in keeping my files/folders well organized. I find it relaxing to organize things in a logical way. I even like organizing file structures at work, and for people in my personal life. I see this as a "non-problem" - it's a thing I actively take satisfaction from fixing. In the event the author of the post reads this, I give you this challenge: Give me a better alternative. Give me a system that can reach the same sort of satisfaction that I get from highly organized file system layouts. Justify why I should no longer need to do that. I'm not opposed to change entirely, I just don't see a very clear gain from it, in it's current form.
