Like the shell, the hierarchical filesystem is valuable as a 'maintenance hatch' for power users and administrators. If it is too much underemphasized then it will suck to work with. Similarly it is very valuable for the functionality you get in a GUI to be exposed at a lower API level and for the GUI to use that API, rather than for APIs to be locked up in GUIs which are incredibly awkward to wrap or automate.
