that's fair. the dot hierarchy has been a polarizing topic with folks falling on both sides of it.
the reason we went with it is because:
- it allows a file to be both a note and a parent of notes
- it makes hierarchy an explicit part of note creation
- it greatly simplified operations like refactoring (regex over filename, no need to create scaffolding with empty folders or removing folders if they no longer had children)
- it makes it easy to work with using cli tools
