For the overwhelming majority of users, the file system is a confusing implementation detail that often breaks something when they're forced or tricked into directly interacting with it.
- hifromwork 2y agoThis is not my experience with Windows users. Tree hierarchies are very natural for us humans.
- brokenmachine 2y agoMy experience is the opposite. Try asking an elderly user of an Android phone where the attachments from gmail they have tried to save are stored in. I think they'd cope a lot better with a standard folder/file hierarchy as opposed to saving into a folder/file hierarchy but never at any point telling the user where in the hierarchy they saved to! And every app saves to a different location. I've been using computers my entire life and I generally have to resort to a file manager to find what I'm looking for.
